Hi I have a VOLVO S60 2001 2.4 NON TURBO that does not start but it cranks.I bought the car and there were no relay's so I replaced them and a diagnostic test was done and the results show that every thing was fine I only needed to change the spark plugs which I did and it is still only cranking I also get a heavy fuel smell when cranking, what can I do to solve the problem.
Please advice.

Thanks Alot.

**Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 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, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, 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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
