addition to checks

in addition to the above checks I checked the Oxygen sensor. I checked voltage when hot from the single lead to ground and got between 0-1 volts. It also correctly responded to a simulated air leak (by opening oilcap and partially pulling out dipstick) the voltage dipped and the restored to stable r...

idle motor?, knock sensor, condition when running

I would check the idle motor?, but do not know its location. Never touched a knock sensor, need to know its location as well.

Condition when running? It skips, excess smoke(not the blues, it is black) and gas mileage is what down. And fare reduction in power.

87 volvo 240dl poor idle

I've been trying to solve my poor idle problem on my 240 for 2 weeks. At first I thought it was my pre-pump(in tank) because when removing fuse it did not effect condition, and 1 week before I heard it whining. After replacing I still have same condition. I checked to see if any of the feul injector...

found trick

Well beat you all to it. I found the root cause of most leaky sunroof problems on this car is clogged drain holes. In the both front corners of your sunroof, between headliner and roof, there is a drain hole. This drain goes down your front posts and meets your windshield base drain. This hole, on b...
