[s-cars] WAS CEL came on while driving, won't restart NOW Won't start at all......

[David Forgie]

Thanks Tony.  Sorry for the double email. The first one got the boot by Audifans (too much text) and I re-did from scratch without the email trail. However, I forgot that you would get both. (Duh).

Now that you post that Volvo info, I remember your original story. (Duh x 2).  I was hoping it was more plug and play based on their five cylinder engines.
