I swear by the Sylvania's - bought them as upgrades for my old '88 240 and my '93 850. Best $40 I ever spent... ;)

Part name??

I need to find the name of a part. It's the aluminum dryer like hose that goes between the air cleaner box, routing behind the engine to the exhaust shield right below the manifold. There's 2 huge breaks in that hose and I'd like to fix it. Actually, do I need a new one or can I just patch it with a...

Okay, it seems that I've fixed the SRS light. I found that the socket is B5, so I checked the code(s) and it was pulling a 222. I'm not really sure what that is, but it seems that my car had a bunch of codes stored in the computer when I bought it that had been fixed, but not cleared, by the previou...

1993 850 check engine light

How do I clear the check engine light from a '93 850? I tried this but it didn't do anything. I caused it to come on by pulling the wire from the MAF myself while the engine was running and now I can't get it to turn off.

Mass Airflow Sensor -- 93 850glt

My 1993 850glt n/a has been running pretty rough for the past two weeks so I called my mechanic who is a friend of mine. He said to make sure that the contacts for the MAF aren't corroded and if they are okay, give the MAF a few good raps with the butt end of a screwdriver. The contacts seemed okay,...

Sunroof ECU -- '93 850

Anyone have a clue how to replace the sunroof ECU from a '93 850glt? Out of trial and error I've come to the conclusion that this is the reason my sunroof is acting all funky and won't close sometimes. Do I need to remove the headliner? Is there anything that I need to keep aligned or something?
