I took my car into a Volvo shop near me. It used to have a guy there who was most reliable, but he was gone, so it's a new relationship. I do a lot of work on my 850, and had asked about a clicking noise I thought may have been the CV. The shop came back with it's the Transmission. I didn't believe ...

I replaced the plugs, caps, rotor, and wires, a month ago when the problem first started. The new codes showed "Weak long term fuel mixture at idle" That was based on the Hayes manual code chart. I didn't get a error code for the ECT sensor, I'll look online and see if I can test that. A q...

Reeked of fuel when I was pumping the gas a little to get the car to fire up. I have about 3 days until my father in-law will being over a trailer to move this thing. It's hard to imagine the fuel injectors being messed up though there is cleaner in the tank now. I read somewhere I could take them o...

It wont start at all now. I can get it to barely fire, but if I do it will stall immediately. It's almost funny that just over a week ago I drove it 60 miles with two dogs sleeping in backseat, it chugged a bit getting of the highway, but I made it fine. Now she's immobile.

Well I looked briefly at the pump wires and didn't see anything that stood out. Still takes a key turn, cranking for 5 seconds no fire, pause in key turn for 2 seconds, key turn crank and fire. I put fuel injector cleaner in it and limped around the block. Again with the chugging, the vroom, chug, v...

I read the diagnostic codes from the led unit in the front of the car. Pin 6 gave me: No signal from Cam Sensor. (well I already replaced that with a new one, and it ...

Back when it wouldn't start the first time, in the store parking lot. I tried to jump the fuel pump relay with a paper clip. Once the pins were in, I still didn't get fire. That doesn't mean anything though, I guess I could pull it and examine it indoors now that the car is at my house. I went home ...

I didn't see anything that was 850 specific for reading codes, does that mean they are compatible with the 960 fault codes?

Crackron baby! U of A grad myself. Hey, we got The Black Keys, Lebron James and Firestone Country Club, all from the Rubber City.

I will try to drive it with the MAF disconnected at lunch today. The check engine light is on, but there's no OBD-II connector that I can find. Even though there is a sticker on the drivers side that points to an OBD-II above the automatic drive selector. My car is a manual, and I opened up that com...
