Re: 850 1994 blinking up arrow

Not that I know much about repair issues or anything, but my '94 850 recently had this problem. After replacing the pnp switch didn't remedy the problem, the guys at the fix-it shop looked at the check engine codes again, and it was the #2 or #3 transmission solenoid.
That cost a pretty penny. :cry:

Re: ALL CAPS BECAUSE I CARE: COLD WEATHER & STARTING ISSUES

I just wanted to post that my 850 sedan did have a starting issue after the first really cold night. It seemed to me like it wasn't getting any fuel, but pressing the gas pedal while trying to start didn't help any. A quick search of "cold won't start" here brought up two or three threads,...

As far as the check engine light, the guy at the shop did give me a list of what codes (yep, plural) were coming on, but after the work th...

Well, the check engine light has been on since I bought it about four weeks ago now! My old Volvo always had its check engine light on despite running fine as long as I had it, so I didn't think much of that one until these problems cropped up. When the too high of gear problem started the other day...

'94 850 Transmission problems?

First off, hello everyone. :) I recently purchased a '94 850 sedan, sorry I don't know what trim level is. The odometer stopped working at 218k, and I don't know how many miles it has on top of that. The only repair I've done is replaced the brake pads, and the only thing I can tell for sure it stil...
