Re: Fuel Pump only getting 7v after new relay and jumper test - 1998 - xc70

Definitely something I need to check! I have a pressure gauge but my adapter for the Schrader valve side is missing the pin in the middle. Once I get another adapter I'll be putting a gauge on the rail immediately.

Like I was saying before it holds pressure pretty well regardless if it's gas or ...

Re: Fuel Pump only getting 7v after new relay and jumper test - 1998 - xc70

I began having issues with a full tank. With both the sender and pump submerged confidently. But I do want to test the return somehow.

Fuel Pump only getting 7v after new relay and jumper test - 1998 - xc70

Hey all!

Was trying to revive a 1998 xc70 that'd been sitting for a while.

I'll try to keep it nice and simple:

-No pressure at the fuel rail: so we replaced the fuel pump. (No cutting the floor)
-Powered the wagon on with the battery and with the key in second position, pump is not activating ...

1996 850 turbo

I'm helping my friend with his headgasket job, we put everything back but when we try to crank the engine, it doing something funky.

We have good lights and power with a battery connected to jump the car.

When we try to crank it, it's slow and the power and lights almost immediately cut out. Then ...

Re: 1996 850R p0112

FINAL UPDATE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

So when scoping everything out I noticed the main harnesses little mount with the bolt on the subframe (if you're facing the car with the hood open it's to the bottom left side, near the ac compressor.)

The bolt wasn't holding the plastic harness holder as it ...

Re: 96 850R what to evaluate for potential bent subframe?

I just went through this myself. If that control arm mounting area to the subframe isn't bent, leave it alone. I nailed the curb so hard I bent the subframe and hand to replace it. In your case, even after replacing the front strut assembly, REPLACE THE KNUCKLE. Also! You're going to need to pull a ...

Re: 1996 850R p0112

Sweet, thank you!

And Misha I've done that as well already, all three main plastic pieces for the ecu housing were removed and I inspected the plugs and wires! I have some interesting news but I want to see how things play out the next few days and I'll come back and report!
