Re: 97 850 has high NO fail CA smog by 100 over max
With the repairs you did, it will take a bit of driving to get the computer acquainted with how the sensors report to it. You may be able to test it in a month and have the numbers lower, or higher depending on how it compensates. HC is Hydrocarbons = high fuel content in the exhaust. Check Stage 0 ...

Re: Service Manuals & Fuel Capacity
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but here is my reasoning for the fuel gauge reading lower than it should. Electric In-Tank fuel pumps use the fuel to cool the pump motor. If you have less an 1/4 tank in there, there is not enough fuel to reach up and tough the motor to keep it cool. By setting the...

Re: I just bought my first Volvo- 95 850 GLT
To get all the belt line trim and the front/rear bumper plastics to look new(ish) again, get yourself a cheap heat-gun (I would imagine a blowdryer might work the same) and just very carefully and slowly, heat the plastic. You will see the plastic color start to change to it's darker original. After...

Re: N/A car to Turbo!
I won't be alone in the swap, and I have plenty of tools with which to do it. The only thing that boggles my mind is that a lot of people keep telling me to just go buy a turbo car... I HAVE A TURBO CAR. However, The turbo car is not in the condition that I want, nor is it in any condition that I ca...

N/A car to Turbo!
NO I am NOT Swapping the turbo to the N/A engine. YES I AM swapping the turbo engine into the N/A 'goon. YES I DO want to know what all I NEED to change electronics wise. I realize that this is a large undertaking, engine, pipes, exhaust, computer, dash cluster.. but do I need to swap the engine har...

Re: Stuck Throttle. Again...
I was coming to a stop, the gas inadvertently accelerated COMPLETELY on its own. I don't know on the vaccum lines... That does not sound like stuck throttle at all, or lack-of-lube. That sounds like Cruise Control taking over. Take the Cruise Control fuse out like stated above, and that should keep...

Re: What did improve the fuel economy for you?
I put the standard 3 prong Volvo plugs in, but looking at them, I really couldn't see what advantage they would have over a standard single anode copper plug if the 3 anodes are different distances from the center electrode.... so I gapped it.. It was really tough to get them to move the distance I ...
