Re: 850r starting issue

I did notice that one of the terminals housing like 5 red wires on the positive side was broken so I replaced it to no avail. I’m going to clean all contacts on the battery really well and make sure the cables are in good shape. Also, once I connect the battery back up the alarm is tripped. Is that ...

850r starting issue

96 850r, when I turn the key to engage the starter all the power cuts off and will not come back until I disconnect the battery. Then the symptoms only repeat. Before trying to start the motor ( in accessory and run) I have power and everything works. Battery is fully charged showing 12.7v. I’ve ...

82 242 cold start issue; surging idle then dies.

Starting my car in the morning or anytime its cold is a real chore. I have to crank it several times (10-15) before it tries to start and when it finally does the idle surges like its hunting for an idle. Once the motor is warmed up everything smooths out and she runs perfect. Ive narrowed it down ...

84 240 No instrument lights.

My instrument lights and gear selector light are not working and there is no power to them when the headlight are on. My climate control lights however, are working. I tested the bulbs and they're all good. Ive read the dimmer switch can be faulty and cause this but if that was the case then my ...

1984 240 having stall issue in reverse

Im having an intermittent issue with the car dying when i put it into reverse after i start it and let it warm up. Once it fired up right after and acted like nothing had happened the other times it would just need time and then maybe an hour later it started, making me think it was a stuck relay ...

1984 240 Dies while driving

Im suspecting either the fuel pump or fuel pump relay. I will just be cursing down the road and it just dies. The next day or some hours later however, the car will start right up making me think the relay is over heating because the fuel pump is old and straining it. But im not sure. There are two ...

Re: 98 v70xc bad head gasket.

When i got home i checked the dipstick again and i think the foam must have built up in the dipstick tube because there was still a bit on the bottom of the dipstick. Also have been noticing some condensation out of the tailpipe after the car warms up... The car hasnt overheated so i hope im good ...

Re: 98 v70xc bad head gasket.

Man, thats good to hear. I did not want to change that thing. The top o-ring on the dipstick is pretty shot and ive been using a prestone 50/50 coolant mix.
Im due for an oil change so i guess that will give me a bit more information.
Thanks you guys, big help.
