Well well well, what a eventful few days, For all the doubters out there who said i should have tested this tested that, used ONLY genuine Volvo parts even tho Volvo dont make anything which myself being in the trade for over 18 years have known this for a very long time.
And that even modifying my crank sensor as per volvo's instructions it will cure the problems i have been having.....
And even after having the car Peco scoped by a professional auto electrician still confirmed it wont be the obd1 FLYWHEEL causing the issues.
I can confirm that after Changing the flywheel from the obd1 version to what should be in there ie a OBD 2 one did infact cure the starting issue. :funkybana
No amount of testing this that and the other could confirm what i Found out, OBD 1 flywheels WILL cause havac if fitted into a OBD 2 car.
Blacky fired up after the 1st revolution of the engine and has continued to do so after 24 hrs. Hot oir cold she is the best starting Volvo ive had which since ive blown over £500 chasing this problem down it bloomin should be.
The car has a newly found lease of life and now feels as she did do in her previous vehicle the (obd 1) Red 855, very very lively half throttle acceleration is now back to how it should be, and the exhaust note has changed also. :)
Cant wait to get her on the strip next year, and apply future improvements to her.
My thanks go's out to all of the peeps on this forum who have helped me along this god forsaken journey and have kept me in Volvo ownership.
My biggest thanks goes out the AndysR who has stood by helped and showed me a few problem solving techniques and also spent his time working on blacky with me.
Go's to show this forum is a Awesome place and full of vast knowledge and enthusiasm from its members.
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED> :bow_kneel

The Obd 1 flywheel has holes drilled around it and the crank sensor pick up from there, the OBD 2 Flywheel has Steps/coggs around it much like abs teeth.
