There are many issues with these cars that will cause a no start condition. Can you describe the symptoms? Does the engine turn over but not start? Does the engine not turn over?

maybe the starter- spark plugs- fuel filter- ignition coil-

get a diagnostic from a volvo specialist instead of guess-chanics,,,
I remember having a lot of problems when ground cables from the engine block to the body of the car got corroded and lost contact. It has blown 2 or 3 ECUs before the problem was discovered.
