Re: 89 740 turbo - sputters and pops when accelerating

OK, so I'm a new guy when it comes to these volvo things. So the car will start fine idle fine at about 800 to 1000 rpm. it will even accelerate ok at a slow pace. but when i get to about 40-50% throttle it will sputter, pop, and miss. When i floor it it will go back to running pretty well once it ...

Re: 89 740 turbo - sputters and pops when accelerating

Well fuel filter changed and still the same problem... I cant figure out how to get a fuel pressure regulator on it either. Anyone want a 89 volvo turbo?

TPS testing?

Trying to test my TPS on my 89 740 turbo. I have a ohmmeter tester but I cant find anywhere that can tell me what kind of reading I should be getting. there are 3 leads. One has 2 wires coming out(orange) and one has ground. the other is not used. I read something about a click I should be hearing ...

Re: 89 740 Fuel Filter/Pump

crappy design. I too am currently at a work stoppage for the exact same thing. waiting for the part from IPD. If you can save the fittings then perhaps you can just get some fuel line to bridge between pump and the filter. Mine broke completely on the pump side. Ive been looking for the fuel ...

Re: 89 740 turbo - sputters and pops when accelerating

Thanks to the replies on here I found and tested the relay. it seems to be working. Also, I jumped the power to the pumps without the relay and they came on. not sure what the fuel pressure was or what its supposed to be. So I went ahead and pulled the fuel filter cause its a 15$ part and i figured ...

Re: 89 740 turbo - sputters and pops when accelerating

CORRECTION: looks like the fuse for the external pump is also the fuse for the engine control so makes sense it wont start with that one pulled. still figuring out where and how to check the relays.

Re: 89 740 turbo - sputters and pops when accelerating

OK so i found the fuse for both fuel pumps. I pulled the fuse for the exterior pump and it was hot with ignition off. The fuse for the in-tank pump was hot with the engine on. When i pulled the exterior fuse the car would not start. When i pulled the fuse or the in-tank, the car started and ran the ...
