Re: 1995 850 starts, then 5 seconds in sputters to stall

I should have mentioned, I'm paying them for a diagnostic service, I did troubleshoot the MAF, and told them along with the other things I had done to try and isolate the problem. They came back instead of saying "your MAF is actually bad" or "you have a vacuum leak" and said &qu...

Re: 1995 850 starts, then 5 seconds in sputters to stall

Well I took out the IAC and gave it a cleaning (it wasn't too gunked up) and the problem persisted. I took it to a shop to have it diagnosed and they responded with... "You need to replace: -the MAF meter (which I'm assuming is the sensor and housing?) -air filter -vacuum hoses -flame trap serv...

Re: 1995 850 starts, then 5 seconds in sputters to stall

Oh that is a great link, thanks jreed, and for the original post as well. Definitely going to give that a try when I have a next free day. In your og post you said you used MAF cleaner but it didn't work too well. I have some, but do you think it is even worth using it? Or should I just go buy some ...

Re: 1995 850 starts, then 5 seconds in sputters to stall

Oh awesome, thanks for the appropriate link erikv11. I'll check it out when I get home. Hopefully it's just a loose hose that would be great.

Re: 1995 850 starts, then 5 seconds in sputters to stall

Thanks for the quick responses. If I check the hoses shown in this diagram will that be sufficient? Or is there others as well https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... php?t=6941

Also, is there a way to test the fuel filter or do I just need to replace it and see?

1995 850 starts, then 5 seconds in sputters to stall

Happened a couple weeks ago while leaving work. First stoplight dipped down to 500, second stoplight went 500...300...200..stall. Replaced fuel pump relay, same symptoms. Cleaned MAF, as well as removed it to see if it would stay running, with the MAF disconnected it still does the same things. I pu...

Check engine light after coolant change

Hello all, I just flushed my coolant, replaced with Zerex G-05. However, when I was burping the system the check engine light came on. There appears to have been a sizeable bubble trapped in the system somewhere, because it took quite a while for it to surface. By the time the reservoir needed to be...

On startup, first drop from ~3k RPM almost stalls

Hello, This winter I've noticed something peculiar with my 850. The first time I drive the car, say, in the morning or after having been stationary for a while, the RPMs will drop to ~500 or even lower after the first time it reaches 3k. If I shift out of 1st and into Neutral at around 2k, if I reac...

Using Prestone "Flush"?

Hello, I'm planning on flushing my radiator and refilling with Zerex G-05. However, I was wondering if it was a bad idea to use the Prestone "Flush" fluid in addition to distilled water after the old has been drained and before filling with the new? Or should I just use distilled water and...
