Re: 1995 850 AC system is empty in a day
They make a sniffer that you can buy that sniffs halides and hydrocarbons that will allow you to sniff for a refrigerant leak. They are VERY sensitive and can be triggered by as little as an exhaust leak. I think I got one from China for like $40.

Re: 97' S70 Random Stalling
Sounds like it's time to replace the ignition switch for starters. I'd also replace the fuel pump relay as it could have microscopic cracks that act up when warm. Have your electrician be sure to test the resistors and diodes right near that capacitor. Also have him perform a "shake and bake&qu...

Re: 97' S70 Random Stalling
Shake and bake test is used by airline and locomotive industries. They literally heat and shake the part to particular specifications for a specific duration. For companies that didn't do this and caused deaths see WABTECH of Plattsburg, NY. They sent bad parts after their production manager went ou...

Re: Dropping the Fuel Tank What Hoses/Gaskets To Change?
Replace as many of those lines as you can while you're in there. I think @Abscate has some pictures of one of the tanks recently that he dropped.

Re: 850 The pin that attaches the disc to the hub is broken
Check your front struts and the rotors for warpage. Could just be warped rotors which will give you a surging feeling, or the front end of the car is taking a dive due to bad struts/springs.
