I have a 1984 244 dl which is now on at least it's 4th motor, no idea what the previous owner did or how many times. today i was driving to work and the heat smelled funny, like melting or burning. when i got into the car later, the motor was running sluggish, only at certain speeds, and now it's no...

i've been having trouble with gas mileage and rough idle, my mechanic claims it's probably the maf. drive car to and from work today, a little under 20 miles round trip, got home and cleaned the maf as per instructions. put back in, the correct way, car idled rough. shut car off and tried moving maf...

so i bought the car and the blower motor was bad, and not only was it bad but it had apparently been replaced by volvo once before, so thankfully i saved a few steps in the installation. suddenly today the blower motor shut off, and i managed to pull over and after sitting for a minute it came back ...

how do you test the relay? and is there an easy procedure for checking the wiring from the button to the shifter?

so my 240 doesn't shift into fourth gear, and while i love listening to the engine howl when i'm going sixty five, i'm curious if there is any way to remedy this problem. i suspect it must be the solenoid? i saw on the ipd site the solenoid over ride kit [/url]http://www.ipdusa.com/version.asp?strPa...

i'm not sure if it's the rear window thats blowing the fuse or not. i don't recall if it's flipping the switch that blows it or just turning the car on. i know at one time the switch had no problems and came on and worked fine, but i am no longer able to put a fuse in the rear demist area without it...

haha yes i seem to have overlooked the part about the shaft, but it's okay i figured metal smashing against metal with flammables was a terrible idea. i happen to have an old hammer shaft that snapped and has no head, i'll be keeping it in my trunk for all future applications. we'll see if it gets s...

so this is my second post about my first volvo. Mine has an aftermarket stereo in it, and the owner prior to me obviously didn't love the volvo as much as i do, because instead of getting the wiring harness to install the stereo into the dash, he just sliced the old one and hard wired the standard s...

so your advice about whacking it with a hammer seems to have worked. knock wood. i ran outside fired up the car and it showed a full tank. turned it off and hit it with a hammer a few times, and it started to plummet. this of course was a good sign, because i have about a gallon of gas, and that see...

i have a 1984 240 dl, this is my first car and the first of many volvos i'd like to own. when i bought the 240 a little over two months ago the fuel gauge seemed to work fine. but about a week into owning it, shortly after filling the tank full for the first time, the gauge became stuck on full. I'v...
