Re: Volvo 850 Ignition Switch Replacement

This post is just beautiful. I really appreciate the effort to share this. Thanks! I would like to know if the the mechanism that creates the spring-back effect when turning the key to start the car is within the part that you replaced. Currently, my 850's key will stay in the starter position if le...

Do you need to approach this from under the car?

Re: 1996 850 Turbo Sedan stalling and sputtering

Thanks for the info. I am going to test the vacuum system today. It would make sense that it is worse on hot days as well. I was obsessed with gapping the plugs correctly. I bought Bosch Platinum plugs because they were on sale and had a longer life, according to the cardboard box they came in. They...

Re: 1996 850 Turbo Sedan stalling and sputtering

Sorry for the delay in posting. I was able to do the dip-stick oil tube test. There was no vapour or back pressure. I ran a code check on it, and got six back. The behavior of the car now is that it will start up, sputter, rev up to higher RPM's, calm down and idle, then repeat. Here are the codes: ...

Re: 1996 850 Turbo Sedan stalling and sputtering

Thanks for the responses so far. The car does not have a check engine light on at this time. When you mention "vapour," coming out of the dip-stick down-pipe, do you mean as in a gas like vapour? Or would it be like smoke. I just want to make sure I am looking for the right thing. It will ...

1996 850 Turbo Sedan stalling and sputtering

This issue has been going on for some time. It started about 18 months ago. I was idling, and the engine started to run rough. RPM's dropped and eventually, the engine stalled. From that point on, that day, it seemed to have issues running at speed and accelerating. Then, I didn't drive it for a few...
