One more question, could the starter be bad even if it's cranking?

I live in city with street parking only, so I have no where to move it. I will remove the spark plugs as you guys suggested and than go from there. Once it becomes salvaged it will only be eligible for liability coverage, no collision or comprehensive coverage, but that's alright since I'll have alr...

Some more information about the situation: My insurance company just called and said they will give me $3600 for the loss of the vehicle. Gotta love how these old Volvos keep there value. If I want to keep the car they will let me keep it with a salvage title and give me $2850. So basically I'm buyi...

Hello, I have a 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon. On sunday I was driving in a rainstorm and ran right into a flash flood that had developed in an intersection. The water was right above bumper level. The car stalled and I like an idiot tried to start it. My friend came and pushed me out when the water we...

Man I'm at my wits end with these belts they are not releasing any slack at all and I have them both mounted in the top position. I guess I'll have to find some used belts. The problem is people rarely sell the belts separately from the rest of the third row assembly. If anyone has any Third Row bel...

Just some friendly advice from now on go to IPD first if you can afford IPD parts it's worth it cause you know your getting quality sometimes better than oem for much less t...

Just to update the person I bought the third row assembly from on Ebay responded to me "The belts need to be mounted in the correct position to unlock". The problem is there is only enough slack to mount the belt in one of the three bolt positions so when I mount it in one position it stil...

Hi I have a 1996 850 turbo wagon and I'm in the process of installing the third row seat. It is a very simple install but I have a problem with the used seat belts that I bought. They are rolled up and locked and will not release to give me any more slack. This obviously prevents me from being able ...

Thanks for your help guys. I used a genuine Volvo MAF sensor. I'll try unpluging the MAF sensor and start it up like you said. I'll also look into the idle control valve. But it seems both of you think the most likely cause is a fuel pump that is on it's way out. I didn't think of that sense I don't...

I guess I should add that the car has 110,000 miles...Any help would be much appreciated...
