Bill, thank you for the detailed reply. I thoroughly cleaned the IAC when this problem started and it made no difference in how the car ran. I used the same technique I used for cleaning the IAC on my 850. But if the IAC is truly bad, then cleaning it would make no difference. But then again, the ca...

Asimba, great choice, really nice. That car would probably be in my Top 5 of cars for me. And rare, too. I'm 41 and have never bought or leased a new car :oops:. I may break my streak and buy a new GTI in a year when the new chassis/body GTIs arrive here in the States. 5-door, manual, cloth seats f...

You know, I don't think I've ever even seen one of those. Quite a nice looking car, congratulations on the purchase! Thanks, yeah the wagon is a very low volume car. It came out in 2011 and Acura only plans to sell 4,000 a year. At the end of 2013 the entire TSX line will be canned along with the T...

How is that Cruze working out? We finally made a car purchase. As I mentioned a few posts up, the VW Jetta TDI wagon was at the top of our list but the massive list of problems kept us away. The 2013 Ford Fusion 1.6 ecoboost finally showed up in the showrooms and we had a chance to drive it. Beautif...

The fuel pump relay and radio suppression relay are brand new OEM Volvo. I have not checked for codes, I forgot these cars aren't as sensitive as my OBD-II 850T. I will watch the tach next time. I was sort of thinking along the lines of a cold start injector or cold start injector temperature sensor...

I have a 1993 Volvo 940 Turbo and am having a difficult time with it when cold. It starts, the idle bounces around and it stalls. It will stall if it doesn't get a chance to warm up for 30 seconds or so, and that's in a temperate California climate. It runs smooth once warm and is averaging 23-24 MP...

Car is sold, thanks for your interest.

Sold the car a couple of weeks ago and it went to a good home. The new owner has another engine he's putting in. He said the head had a huge crack in it around two of the valves.

Thanks for all of the help...this car would have cost me far more without you guys.

It's not fine. The hose failed which led to most likely a blown headgasket.

I found the problem but it still has a blown headgasket or something. I have what seems like some seriously lookers coming, so we will see how it goes.
