Hi all,

Trying to diagnose an intermittent starting issue here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=289787

To do so I'm trying to get VOL-FCR but as is common with diagnostic software, getting the bloody thing working is extremely difficult.

I have a 1997 850R manual estate. I bought the following cable:

Based on advice in the following thread:

But upon opening VOL-FCR 1.3.0.6 and trying to connect to the Motronic 4.4, I get the common "no response from car".

I followed the instructions and installed the drivers, changed the port to COM1, all that. Even tried lowering the port speed but still nothing.

All I've managed to read is the immobilizer which threw up the following: IMM-312 Initiating Signal Absent from ECM.
