Volvo: 82volvo gl, intank, fuel pressure


Question
 I just replaced a faulty intank fuel pump, and
car still will not start.
Seems that it is getting spark. It turns over and
over.
  Checked either end of the fuel filter as well,
and fuel is definitely flowing.
Is there anything I may have over looked, or
any related issues that I may have caused?  

Answer
Mike,
Ok you have spark, good. You say that you have fuel. The 82 should bave mechanical injectors, they open with fuel pressure, do you have enough? Line pressure is 4.5 to 5.2 bar. Do you have good compression? Maybe a squirt of oil in each cylinder would help. Is the pre pump hooked up properly? There is a positive and negitive side to the pump.
