Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Volvo S70

I have a 1998 Volvo S70 that was sitting in my driveway unused for about a month. I turned it on and drove it today without a problem but a couple hours later when i tried to turn it on, the lights and radio all went on but the engine wouldn't even crank. Whats causing this and is it easily fixable?

If its cranking over and will not start -do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
