Volvo: 89 240dl wont start, fuel pump relay, inner fender


Question
howdy, pull up to a stop sign it stalled, which its been doing about a month but up until now started right back.
turns over fine, checked fuel line to injectors, getting fuel. replaced coil, distribator cap, rotor button, spark plugs and wires. i'm getting 1-1-1 on the diagontic code in both positions. checked fuses they're fine. it's not getting any fire from the coil. i'm get 1.4v and 10.3v on the coil it's self. what else needs to be checked, tested or replaced?
got through to expert E. first the only reply for him was "But this is outside of my expertise".
do you have any suggestions or advice?
up until recently ran like a top, 27 mpg and i like this car, please help.

Answer
Neil,
No spark out of coil, is there power to the coil? There is a power stage screwed to the inner fender by the battery that has control over the coils power. There are really no valid tests for that, best to use a known good one. If the fuel pump relay is faulty it may not be turning on the fuel pumps and no fuel, no spark. Another part best to replace with known good one.
