This past Thursday I gave it a new oil change and got it inspected. That night the oil pressure light came on quickly, there were some loud metal on metal sounds (@#%&#$), the car died and I coasted into a parking lot. The next day I went over a bunch of things and ended up loosening the oil dra...

Went to the salvage yard and grabbed a fuel rail and FPR. Wrong ones.....DOH! Can't get another until next week. @#$^@#@!

I see your previous post. Some kind of glitch you're experiencing I guess. Hope it gets straightened out for you.

Could it be a bad tie rod?

Ok thanks Lee. I'll give it a shot this afternoon and post my results.

It's been posted elsewhere about how hard it is to hook a fuel pressure tester up to an 850 fuel rail. When I did it earlier I removed 2 bolts from the throttle mount and loosened the third so I could slide the throttle mount over and access the fuel rail's Schrader valve easier. I haven't tested wh...

Or just take out two of the three bolts holding down the throttle linkage mount and slightly loosen the third. You can then slide the whole thing away from the rail, making room for the fuel pressure tester.

Here's the link I've been reading... www.volvoclub.org.uk/tech/service/850/BasicTesting-Turbo.pdf I connected my fuel pressure tester right to the rail at the Schrader valve (driver side). Jumped very fast to proper pressure specs. I tried blowing in the return port of the FPR and also the vacuum po...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Just read online that fuel pressure should be 43.5 psi. That sounds about right as far as my test went. I didn't bother starting the car because I felt my pressure was already through the roof according to Haynes. Wth is up with Haynes anyway? Book is becoming more bo...

There's a pulse on all 5 connectors. My fuel pressure kit showed up a day early and I made time to use it. Relieved fuel pressure by disconnecting fuel pump and running the gas out the car as directed in Haynes. Hooked the tester up to the fuel rail and got astronomical results compared to specs in ...
