Re: '94 940 turbo-idles well-can't hold steady RPM's

Just an update -- Car is still running OK although it is still a bit unsteady running at speeds above idle. Having a similar situation on my Z and wondering if it could be a faulty TPS. My jury rigged fuel line repair finally started leaking last week. Kudos to FCP EURO parts I ordered Friday evenin...

Re: '94 940 turbo-idles well-can't hold steady RPM's

That means I need to look elsewhere. Thanks ( A couple of hours and some driving later) I believe the nature of the problem has changed. The car starts and idles well it never really had a problem there. Initially for the first 5 to ten minutes of running it has the roughness or difficulty maintaini...

Re: '94 940 turbo-idles well-can't hold steady RPM's

While searching for in-tank replacement pumps I looked at a Walbro model and in the specs it said working pressure is 12 psi if this is correct it would seem that my pumps are operating. I will have to see if I can get a reading off the rail at a higher RPM than idle. Any input on what it should rea...

Re: Poor performance under load

Although I do not have an 850 my codes also pointed to a possible bad MAS among other things. I identified that my fuel pressure(main in-tank pump) is most likely the major culprit. I also had replaced my vacuum lines due to deterioration. I found that many of these year/ models share the same bugs ...

Re: '94 940 turbo-idles well-can't hold steady RPM's

Well I discovered that my hearing sucks and I need an in tank fuel pump I believe. Picked up a relatively inexpensive tester $39.99 @ Pep Boys(cheapest they had) and after a bit of cursing at the rail fitting finally got it on. Just a hair of a degree angle either way and it would have been much eas...

Re: 1998 s70 cruise control question

There is a spring type clip that holds it in place make sure it has not come off or stripped the threads on the switch assembly. I don't know S70's so I do not know if a cover panel may need to be removed for easier access. The cruise switch is pretty universal though.

Re: '94 940 turbo-idles well-can't hold steady RPM's

I tested the car today and it appears to be running much, much better above idle. It still stutters here and there but overall it seems much more stable. Also I must be insane because the fuel pump that I thought was not working --is( next to fuel filter)I hope it is not an intermittent thing I hate...

Re: '94 940 turbo-idles well-can't hold steady RPM's

I'll try the simple things first like the fuel filter Simple my ass. What a nightmare, what should have taken a half hour took two.I recommend dropping the assembly if you have never replaced the filter before because the fittings were quite a challenge. Also a small container as it drained about 3...

I love being unique.
Thanks
