Re: 93 850 the dreaded warm start problems, cranks but no start

Is your 850 10v or 20v car?
10v cars were not imported in U.S.
B5252 is 10v car.
Is CEL on?
Read the codes from A2 and A6.
'93 non turbo have two separate ecu(s) for engine(A2) and ignition(A6).
You have built-in diagnostic ports under the hood on ecu box.

Re: Volvo 850 engine stuttering at low RPM, not sure why?

IAT sensor have exactly the same spec as ECT.
Multimeter is all you need.
A2 5-1-2 :

You have a vacuum leak somewhere or o2 sensor connector is bad.
FPR-fuel pressure regulator should be checked if it leaks fuel into vacuum line.

Re: Volvo 850 engine stuttering at low RPM, not sure why?

No lighter!
For Map you measure voltage while applying a vacuum to it's vacuum line and voltage at rest.
YouTube have a lots of videos on how to check Map sensors.

For IAT you measure resistance,just like for ECT.

Re: Speed meter 15% too optimistic

The easiest way to check compatibility is to remove the bulb sockets from right side for warning lights and with a help of flashlight to check if it have ETS light(that's for '99 & '00).

If it have Lambda symbol it's for '97 & '98.

Re: Volvo 850 Jigsaw

Fog light from the 1st picture is for '92-94 850.
They have different bumpers(headlights,side lights,tail lights...etc).

2nd picture with fog light in the bumper is round fog light(spot light,projector) for '95-'97 models.

Re: shift indicator light not working

There is no fuse for it.
It illuminates along with cluster and other dashboard and center console lights when you turn on the headlights switch.

Re: TPS from 9.8% to 79.8% '98 C70 T5

After you replace the hose and correct gap(if it's not gapped correctly),remove negative battery cable for 15min to reset fuel trims.
