Hopefully the deal works out.

I can take a look at it if you want to bring it by. I can pull codes too.

That looks to have a persistent P0455 code. Seeing as they "found no leaks", I'm guessing it would be above the tank. It's not a real issue, but annoying. My wife's '97 GLT had a P0455 code for 3-4 years until I finally traced it to a chewed up hose on top of the tank. It looks like it was...

Make your way to THIS THREAD HERE In theory, yes you should be able to convert, but it's not going to be a drop-in, most likely. You can start with a 98MY M4.4 ECU and then modify it to suit the 2.0T. I know there are some sample bin files in the Motronic Suite for the 2.0T's that would give a good ...

The bolts I pulled are the same as the others I have from other cars in my stash. Not 100% convinced of the 2 different bolt lengths. I'm probably wrong! Took all of the bolts too. I was thinking that I might buy two new ones for the main subframe attachment because those heads took some hits when ...

Kesha brought this by over the weekend, and it's a pretty nice car. Needs a couple small things, but nothing major stood out. The only code I pulled was a P0410 code for the SAS. The pump is running, but there may be an issue with the check valve or vac lines. Didn't have much time to dig into it. S...

The longblocks should be the same, between 98 and 94. Both are 2.3T N motors.

Just bolt all of your 98 ancillary parts onto the 94 longblock and go.

Did a lot of research last night. I think everything will be good to go. Just not sure if I will have to swap over the engine wiring harness to accommodate ME4.4? Leave all of the ancillary parts that are NOT engine/head from the '98. Put everything, intake, exhaust. turbo, harness, etc from the 98...

This is what leaked on the top of the tank on the wife's car. (Also caused the perpetual P0455 code) Chewed up vent hose.

Wait, this is news to me. You can replace the valve stem seals without pulling the head? You pull the cam cover and cams. You're already pulling the timing belt. It does require some extra tools, but they aren't expensive. https://turbochuckcom.ipage.com/webimages/projects/97%20Volvo%20854T5/2022/W...
