Re: 94 850 turbo sputters then turns off

So scratch that last thing about the problem not being the Mass Airflow Sensor. Earlier today I was driving and my car started freaking out. I would be pushing on the gas and it would barely have any power. Also I could literally see my rpms bouncing up and down. While idling and while accelerating....

Re: 94 850 turbo sputters then turns off

I was thinking that as well. I read up on some other articles on line and they said it was either the Mass Airflow Sensor or something along the lines of the fuel pump or something dealing with the fuel. Could it maybe be the part that plugs into the Mass Airflow Sensor? Sorry, I'm kind of new to wo...

Re: 94 850 turbo sputters then turns off

So I finally got around to changing my mass airflow sensor. After driving it around for a bit I haven't noticed any changes. It still gets lower rpms than normal and It's died once since the new install. I also am getting this weird thing happening as well. I'll be accelerating and the rpms will dro...

Re: WTB Wagon 850 or V70 series Turbo or R

I have a 94 turbo wagon. It has roughly 220k-230k miles (odometer is broken). It's an automatic and runs really good. The body is in good condition other than a few dings and bruises and with no rust. There is a few things wrong with it though. I can send pics and tell you everything you need. Just ...

Re: 94 850 turbo sputters then turns off

Well i would have been very surprised if i could get more than a block. After i started the car i let it sit there for a bit to see what it did and it was fine. Then i went in reverse and it instantly died. Just like it was doing before. It would sputter and die. Also it felt shaky and struggled to ...

Re: Loss of Power for 94 850 Turbo

I found the problem for this one by the way. When i finally found the time to get my car up off the ground i did notice a hose that had been disconnected, and i reconnected it. Not sure which one though. But after that it ran like a charm once more. I actually had fixed it about a month ago but neve...

Re: 94 850 turbo sputters then turns off

K I'll give that a try. It doesn't always happen though so i might need to drive it around for a little while. Would that be bad on the car? Or should i just try disconnecting it, drive for a little bit to check, and then connecting it again? I just don't want to cause more harm that what's already ...

94 850 turbo sputters then turns off

First things first, I drive an 850 turbo wagon with about 230k miles. Just recently my car has had some problems driving. I'll be driving along and I'll notice and feel a sharp drop in rpms. Sometimes I can catch it and push on the gas a little more and it'll rev back up to normal and i can continue...

Re: Loss of Power for 94 850 Turbo

lol well there's a slight problem there. My boost needle hasn't worked since i bought the car. :cry: So i guess that after market gauge is the way to go. And I'll also give the intercooler a look over as well. But as for the turbo itself i might get a little confused. I'm not exactly the best with c...

Re: Loss of Power for 94 850 Turbo

Well i gave it a good look and from what i could see there were no tears in any hoses and everything looked connected. Any other ideas on what it might be?
