Installed my Erie volvo door latch assembly and a door cable from FCP on the xc90. Works like a charm now. The cable is only $15 for new bluebox. Also took the time to swap out the turn signal indicator. It feels so much better and actually works now. My new problem that I hoped the new indicator w...

What engine management will you be running on this car? Not planning on keeping it M4.3, I assume based on the Bosch ETB.

Coming along really nicely!

Received mine last week, thanks Matt! The navy matches my FCP Euro shirt too

A failed crank sensor should kill spark. Those normally cause intermittent hesitations/misfires when they're on their way out. Unlikely to be a cause in this case, being that you still have weak spark. That does look pretty bad though. Maybe not enough to kill spark, but I guess weak spark is a poss...

May the Volvo gods be with you!

That sounds like the normal lifter tick through the video. That will normally clear up after running it for a little bit, it's usually only pronounced on cold starts. The car might have been sitting without being run for a while, so that could cause the tick. The valves are self-adjusting using hydr...

The XC90 didn't have an RNC, the RNC was reserved for the P1 and P3 cars. The XC90 2.5T is an RN just like the rest of the P2 cars. You can use the 2.5 from the XC90, there are only very minor differences on the 2.5T. You will not use the intake VVT control on the 2.5, as your 2.4T only has exhaust ...

$1000 is the new $500! That 240 is still worth grabbing, I'd make him an offer if it was closer. That V50 is a great deal though!

It'll come back to you. And if you're second guessing anything, you know who to ask!
