Re: Camshaft position sensor

Hi Rebecca, I think you have another thread going about this now, but I'll just chime in here. I had VERY similar issues with my 95 850T. Especially the sputering or stalling when trying to start it warm. Wait a while and off she'd go. Also had the problem after fill ups, but I think it was mostly t...

Re: I sure thought the fuel pump relay would be it

I didn't have exactly the same symptoms with my 95 850 turbo, but had several frustrating stalling, hesitating, no start conditions, ESPECIALLY at WOT(warm oper temp?). Most of my conditions went on to varying degrees over a two year period and I tried all sorts of tshooting and parts. I basically a...

Re: Windshield Wiper Liftoff - in the middle

Thanks to so many of you who have helped in many repairs on my 850T. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents for this issue. Both of my wipers were off the glass 1-2" when the arms reached the highest point of the cycle. I read about the grinding method and switching to s70 arms, but thought I'd tak...

Re: 850 T5 problems

I had been having very similar issues over the last two years and tried many things to fix it. Even though you hear the fuel pump come on doesn't mean it's operating at the level it should. It's less than a hundred bucks and pretty easy to fix yourself. The hardest part for me was getting the specia...

Re: keep having problems with 850 starting

I would try the fuel pump. I have a 95 850t and have had several starting/running issues for the last two years, especially warm and after stopping. Replaced vacuum lines, cleaned everything, tune up, small improvements but still persistent problems. It finally began to not start on occasion, checke...

Re: Blower Fan Stuck On - Burned Electrical Smell - 1993-850

Thanks BEJinFbk, do I need to install the blower to test it or can I bench test? Also, you did see that my blower did not work at all in the car, it only spun when I hooked it direct to the battery? I should have also pointed out that along with code 4-1-1, I did get code 4-1-8 (no control signal to...

Re: Blower Fan Stuck On - Burned Electrical Smell - 1993-850

Hi Lee, In the middle of this thread Paul talked about the fan turning 'freely'. Is there a way to test the draw that the fan is creating to be sure if it's good? My blower stoped working suddenly, without any noises or warning. I have the ECC and it doesn't work on any speed. The ecc still controls...

Re: 96 Volvo 850 won't start after gas fillup, tank was clos

bramir731.

Are you saying that you have not been able to start your car since March 16th or only after fill ups? Does it ever try to fire or is it just turning over and over?

Thanks,

Re: Where do I start?

Hi everyone! I know it's been a while since I started this but I'm bumping this thread to keep all the details and I have some new things to add. First I say THANKS for your help so far. I'm sorry for not keeping up with the results, it's been a crazy time the last 6 months or so. All through the co...
