Its good to see people still looking for older Volvos. I hate to see them going to scrap or decaying in a back yard. Thankfully, I have enough sense to not become a "rescuer" of these vehicles or my yard would become one of those Swedish graveyards. I have to disagree with the sentiment ab...

Hi Travis, Have you tried any of this: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/faq/EngineOBDCodes.html#FuelInjectionandIgnitionDiagnosticCodesi Your '90' 740T diagnostic codes may help rule some things out. Does the problem occur at a certain RPM every time? See what kind of codes you get and post your findings...

Sounds like you are making progress. You may get a little more help from this forum if you could post your engine type, fuel injection type and version. I'm not as familiar with the 240s as I am the 700 series but it sounds like you are running a B230F? with bosch jetronic LH 2.2. AKA EZK-117 Is tha...

Hello Michael, No expert here but since you have a lack of replies, perhaps I can point you to something that has helped me. I just recently replaced my engine harness on my 87 740 and had some problems with starting/running. The idle air control and the throttle position switch are very easy to acc...

Hello again, So, my 87 740 GLE is making a a clunking noise from the front right (US passenger side) occasionally during large front suspension movements and sometimes just as it comes to a complete stop. As near as I can identify, its either the control arm bushing (frame end), control arm strut bu...

Hi Travis, I just did the flush on my 740 with the same IPD hose. The procedure went well but I noticed that my ATF came out a lot faster than the directions mention. In hindsight, I would have drained the fluid first, cleaned the screen, checked the magnet and then put it all back together and adde...

Imaitland, Well, I'm no expert. Just a shade tree Volvo tinkerer but I have been through a fair amount of DIY Volvo procedures and maybe can help with a couple of your questions and certainly some suggestions that have helped me a lot. Since no one has replied, I'll give it a shot... First, the pict...

Thanks again Jimmy, I'll keep banging away at it. The good news is the car is running very well now with the knock sensor issue repaired. I can live with a slightly high idle but I will get back to the IAC issue shortly. Spent all day yesterday working on some minor electrical issues and replacing t...

On the two wire connector you ground each lead to find the IAC service lead. The throttle may need to be cleaned and set up correctly. I'm sketchy on the test wires, I haven't worked on a LH2.2/EZK 117 car in a dozen years or so. I worked on them every day when they were "young" cars. Ok,...
