Some Volvo XC90 owners report experiencing starting issues after changing wires and plugs, often due to several underlying problems. These include a dead battery that lacks sufficient charge to start the engine, which can prevent the vehicle from starting. Additionally, a faulty alternator may fail to charge the battery properly, leading to similar starting difficulties. Some owners also encounter issues with a failed starter motor that fails to turn over the engine. Furthermore, ignition system problems, such as faulty spark plugs or issues with the ignition coil, can contribute to the engine not starting. It is advisable for owners to check the battery, inspect the alternator and starter motor, and review the installation of ignition system components to troubleshoot these issues effectively. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic or a Volvo dealership for further diagnosis is recommended.
