Re: 240 Keeps Blowing ECU's Please Help!

Well, I've figured some things out but still have a question or two I could use some help with.

Okay guys, sorry for the hiatus but got to work on the Volvo (1991 240 B230 Automatic Base Model) today. I reattached the ground (blue wire) and it is now going from the stud on the alternator case to the bolt (engine block/ground/alternator bracket/bolt). In addition, added a second ground wire fro...

240 No Diagnostic Code on #2 & No Start

Hi. 1991 240 Base w/B23F (Red) Engine. So what I thought to be an alternator issue was only a bad belt or bushings which is good but now...it wont start.
