Well, I thought I had the problem fixed. I flushed the transmission fluid and changed the filter, it looked like chocolate milk in there. It even looked like some moisture had gotten in too. The car ran great for a couple months now once the transmission warms up it will just stop working. If you tu...

I had the same no start problem, I'll pass on what I learned... Forums are great! Check the engine speed sensor/impulse sensor i.e. (crank position sensor) located on top of the flywheel. Its easy to test the sensor, just follow the wire and disconnect the plug located on firewall. (mine was there) ...

When I got home from work today my crank position sensor had arrived from FCP Groton. I didnt even bother to change my cloths, I grabbed my 10mm wrench and installed the new sensor. New sensor next to the old one: http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j360/65eggharbor/1992%20Volvo%20940GL/IMAG0078-1.j...

Parts just came in today. I will be installing them when I get home from work... I'll post my results.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I disconnected the crank position sensor and tested the resistance between 1 and 2... it was 0 ohms. I removed it and this is what I found: The tip looked corroded. http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j360/65eggharbor/1992%20Volvo%20940GL/IMAG0073-1.jpg The shield was broken or chaffed in a couple p...

Bill: Thanks for the comment Update: I drained the tank and added fresh gas... what a pain in the butt. Installed new cap and rotor, wires, plugs, Ignition coil. I crossed my finger and turned the key... still will NOT start! I pulled plug #1 to check for spark and got nothing, same for plug #2. Is ...

Thanks for the welcome! Yes I'm not getting any spark at this time. I grounded plug #1 to the engine and turned the engine over... nothing. I replaced the wires and plugs... still no spark. I replaced the Fuel Filter... just because. I purchased a new rotor, cap and Ignition coil (funny looking thin...

After two months of waiting (lost title) I finally picked up my new 1992 Volvo 940 GL. This was going to be my sons first car but he was starting school and I couldn’t wait that long... so he got the 95 850 wagon. I decided to keep the car because it was a one owner car, in great physical condition,...

jimmy57... Thanks for the reply. I should be picking the car up within a couple weeks. I will try some fresh ATF and seal additive first and repost my findings.

I just bought a 1992 940 GL automatic with 180K from its original owners. It's been sitting in their garage unused for two years, just and occasional startup. It was his wife's car and she no longer likes the RWD in the snow. They stated that it was in good working order prior to taking it off the r...
