This typically indicates a problem with the Guard II alarm as the immobilizer blocks the fuel injection. First step is to have the starter engine working, after that worry about the immobilizer.
Easiest way to bypass the Guard II alarm is to remove its fuse; this will remove power from the alarm and the central locking.
As Volvo was dumb enough to use Normally Closed relays, removing the power from the alarm will bridge the interruption in the starter motor circuit.
I cannot mention the fuse-number in this public forum, but it's the same number the Dutch football player Johan Cruijff used all his life. 
Perhaps the TS is in luck as the so called garage key, while preventing access to the glove compartiment and the trunk, should have a RFID chip installed. |
There are 2 immobilisers in a 96 on car
1 for the starter (basic relay, alarm activated)
1 for the fuel system (not related to the alarm being on or off, need chip key)
