Re: 1993 Volvo 850 - 314 3-1-4 ABS error

Dear all, I finally have this ugly orange ABS light turned off ! Before buying anything I checked the right rear cables and harness for continuity. Then I found on ebay my "precious". It was hard to get as they don't come often. So I bought a second hand right rear abs sensor from a scrapp...

Re: 1993 850 - Won't start after refueling

@Lee,

Thanks for this advise and reply. But at least the last two times I had problems after refueling, I didn't fill it at it's maximum. It was only half of the tank...

Do you know where is the EVAP valvle so I can at least check it or it's surroundings (leaking pipe or so).

Thanks.

Re: 1993 Volvo 850 doesn't start (Resolved) But ! Wait !

Hi guys ! So I drove the car for some time now since my previous post. And it started again to act strange. But it came slowly, so I thought it could be either the plugs that were starting to take their normal life and settings. Or some other part or cable or.... So I checked. I was in my undergroun...

Holler1,

Yes just do it ! Like says the comercial.

I was fed up of having this terrible clacking noise. My car is old ok. But not cheap and clumsy. I like this car and all I can do on it that will keep it smooth, I'll do.

Voila. Take your chance, it's an added peace of mind (and ears !).

Hi everyone, I have a 1993 850 Volvo manual gear, 2L engine, that reads 314 3-1-4 (I'm repeating the number so people searching the forum can be helped with both formats). It means, from what I've understood a rear right abs sensor short circuit or failure. I also saw on this wonderful forum that I ...

Hi everyone. Yes it did. Car started cold into 2 cranks. I never experienced a so rapid start. Car is way smoother then before. I can accelerate full throttle and the car flies. I'll see with time if it sticks that way and tell you. So to wrap up : - Fuel filter changed with new (didn't see any diff...
