Re: 1995 850 non turbo ignition control signal issue.

I am so happy that I found this thread! It's scary exactly how similar our problems are, I have literally tested everything that you listed above and to no avail.. I kid not, our problems are exactly identical! I'm very excited to see how an ECU swap works out for you because that is the only thing ...

Re: NO SPARK? 1994 850 Turbo Sedan

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and doubt the camshaft positioning sensor as the problem, I've tried several ones, even off of my 94' 850 Wagon and still no luck.. The starter definitely still operates as it should, and the car cranks at a speed that sounds appropriate.. Its that alarm system I can't get...

1994 Volvo 850 Turbo BATTERY DRAIN

To anyone who has any input I would appreciate it greatly. I bought a project car from a lady who told me that the cars only problem was electrical, so far this seems to be true. The car sat for about a year and a half after she stopped driving because of a problem with the car dying every time she ...

NEWLY Purchased 1995 850 Turbo (parts to replace)

Here's the story, I've been searching for a nice 850 Turbo for awhile, I picked it up about 150 miles from home a few days ago, I couldn't turn down the price of $1600 cash for a great looking Turbo with 160k miles on it. The car runs.. awesome, the turbo spools up and pulls hard, no white smoke or ...

Re: Fan motor: Only operates on speed 4, not 1-3?

Thanks these are ideas I probably wouldn't have thought of.. one question though, if I replace the resistor pack and the fan speeds 1-3 start to work again, will it just be destroyed again if the fan blower motor is still on its way to being bad? At what point will I be sure to replace the fan motor...

Fan motor: Only operates on speed 4, not 1-3?

I'm not sure how it happened, one day I got in my car and only fan speed 4 worked, not 1-3. Its a 1994 850 N/A 5-Speed. I know that speeds 1-3 are on a different fuse then 4, I checked the fuse, it didn't look bad, so I tried several different ones just to be sure, but still the problem remained.. A...
