Volvo: 1993 volvo 850--spark plugs, proper diagnosis, volvo 850


Question
Hi. I have a 93 volvo 850 that just died on me when driving home. I have checked the battery, which is good, and can also hear the fuel pump come on, so my question is: could it be the spark plugs, and if so how do I check them? When you look at the engine, on the right side of it is some spark plugs connected to something and then the black wires go into the engine itself, how do I get to them?  Hopefully you can understand and help me.  Thank you for your time, angela

Answer
Hello Angela! There are many reasons why the car could die on you like that. If you are unfamiliar with it, I would have the car checked out by a Volvo technician For a proper diagnosis. I'm sorry I do not have a better answer for you, but it can be very tough to figure out if you are inexperienced.
