Why does my 93 Volvo 850 fail to start even though it is turning over strong and has a new battery and recently had spark plugs and distributor cap replaced and ran fine for 2 weeks?

It may be rust or just that the engine is old
In response that the car wont start due to it being old: I have worked on Volvos many years and own three of them now, 2 are 850 s and being old doesn't keep mine from starting. When a car won't start think fuel, fire and air. All 3 are needed for the car to start. See if the engine is firing if not could be many things but on 850s the coil is the first thing that comes to mind. If you are getting fire (the spark plugs are firing) then check the fuel. If no fuel then can be filter or fuel pump bad. Hope this helps and good luck.

Why won't your car start with a good battery and starter and spark from the ignition coil but no spark at the spark plugs on a 87 Accord?
Check the main relay under the dashboard the fuel filtr and distributer.AnswerCheck the distributor cap, rotor, and spark plug wires. With the distributor cap removed, crank the engine to see if the distributor is turning if not you probably have a broken timing belt.
What direction retards timing?
The way the rotor rotates retards. If the distributor turns clockwise, then turning the distributor clockwise retards the timing.
