After 6 months, finally convinced the hubby that because of the great directions and pics from this post that he really could fix this. And today he did, almost. Old heater core out, new one in, new o-rings, no initial leaks, heat came back we thought we were good to go. We let the car run a good 20...

Thanks Lee! I was confused with the code since we weren't having starting problems until after it stalled. Was double checking that it wasn't throwing some "false code" Lol! We finally got the old one off (bottom screwed was stripped by the mechanic who put it on) and it's a Bosch. We've b...

I have a '93 Volvo 850 - that in the last few days has been stalling (at various speeds) and then won't restart. We've not had any initial starting problems - only after the stalling issue. It started out at 45mph when the CEL came on and the RPM's dropped. My teenager was driving at the time and pu...

Curioser and Curioser. We put the old part back on this morning, car started right up. Gonna go have the new part tested to see if it is faulty. But, if it's not, where in the world do we go from here?

My 93 Volvo 850 GLT has had a problem shutting off while I'm driving. It seems to miss which makes me let off the gas and then the car stalls. It usually starts back up after 5-10 minutes. I pulled the code 314 on A-6 and went to the parts store for a Camshaft Position Sensor. The guy at the parts p...

I'm happy to report that the screw has been removed, the crankshaft sensor has been replaced (along with a new rotor button) and the car started!! But ... now it is idling really rough and there is a strong exhaust odor for the first few minutes it runs. I've run it for a few days and the gas mileag...

This is turning into the little fix that wouldn't. Lol! So, the screw that holds in the crankshaft sensor is stripped and after TOO many attempts, seems impossible to remove. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting it off? Because of its location, access is limited. We have tried an extractor, ...

Just a quick update - of sorts. We replaced the camshaft position sensor today because the parts store ordered the wrong thing. Still no start. Crankshaft position sensor should be in tomorrow. By the way, upon close inspection, my husband noticed that the plastic in the center of rotor button has a...

Thanks Jagger - we had the battery checked and it "passed". This afternoon we removed the fuel rail, removed and cleaned the injectors, & replaced the o-rings. From trying to start it so many times the last few days we did run the battery down. So, this afternoon we jumped it and lo &a...

I'm back with an update (of sorts). We haven't been able to get the car to start for more than 2-3 seconds (and then only twice), but here is what we've done so far. We have checked the fuel pressure (couldn't find a gauge at Autozone, so we used a tire pressure gauge) at the filter and it was 40+; ...
