Good bye poor volvo :(

2012-02-01_09-34-40_653.jpg Well the wife rolled the Volvo last night. Guess its time to start looking for a new car. I don't know if it will be another Volvo or not but wanted to say thank you for everyone's help. Thankfully she was able to walk away with only a couple bumps and bruises. Hopefully...

New carb idles smooth but runs rough when revved

Go figure… it turns out the electric choke on the new carb is sticking from the factory. Back to the old school choke cable. Lol

I'd jack it up and check your ball joints and control arm bushings.

99 V70XC flooded. How to start?

I'd pull out all the plugs and crank it over. That should take care of clearing the cylinders of raw fuel. Also you should check your oil. If it smells like gas change it right away. If you have a set of noid lights check your injectors to make sure they are pulsing properly. I have an 84 jaguar xjs...

I found a bad fuse for the gauges and now the check engine light is on. The previous owner also had the fuse for the computer pulled. I'm gonna have to figure out how to get the codes and go from there.

New carb idles smooth but runs rough when revved

Hey guys I'm having problems with the old chevette and I'm hoping everyone on this wonderful site can help me out. It started out with a bad float in my original carb for my 81 chevette. Instead of rebuilding the carb I had found a new one for a decent price and bought it. The old one was causing th...

Anti freeze smell 98 v70xc.

Yeah it's a green cap. I stopped at the dealer took my bad one in and they gave me the same thing. I'll have to look around the junkyard and see if I can find any different ones. The two I have are rated at 150 kpa which equals 19-20 psi. I think if I found one that was about 14 psi it would be good...
