Laurie;c-151444 wroteHi Dave, I have owned five 360 Volvo's over 33 years and they all have pulled the no fuel stunt on various occasions mainly due to corroded connections. Firstly I suggest you check the fuel pump fuse situated between the battrey and the inner mudguard. There are two fuses, one for the fuel pump and the other for fog lights. This fuse is usually the problem. Clean all the contacts and provided that all the wiring is ok the car should start. I have had only one fuel relay which had to be replaced. It had become damp somehow and the contacts inside were grotty, cleaned them up and the relay has been in use for ten or so years. How do the fuses behind the battrey get wet? Look where the mudguard is bolted to the inner guard with the bonnet up. Some 360's have drain holes next to the bolts right above the fuse box. Seal the holes with filler, sand and paint etc. Also check under the battrey for rust. Water leaks from around the mudguard screw area which collects under the battrey. Have fun! Laurie
the fuse behind the battery is fine and been replaced anyway all the connections are good and power is flowing thru the relay did look pretty nasty but i got another relay yesterday and ive still got no start .
im lost on whats going on , i pulled the pump back out and bench tested it and it started pumping again theres no 12v getting down to the pump.

Yes. Very possible. They're designed to cool themselves by the flow of fuel through them. If the pump had run backwards for some time, so it blew into the tank instead of sucking fuel from it, then it has probably run hot and cooked itself. And
that sucks. You shouldn't have any problems with a new pump if the polarity is correct, the fuel is clean and the lines are clear.
that was my original thinking but i pulled the pump out and bench tested it , it started pumping fine ...
its going to be something small and stupid but its unfortunately still smarter then me cause im stumped , ive gone over everything 100 times and it all looks fine im at the point where i really need someone who knows what the hell they are doing and looking for im winging all this shit and learning as i go and can usually work it out but this one has beat me
