I'm pretty good with the electrics. Spent years as the electrical "go to guy" at a Volvo TRUCKS dealer. However, I had full factory wiring diagrams, diagnostic tools and years of having seen similar issues on similar models. I will likely find it, thought I would post it up here to try and...

1996 Volvo 850 wagon, 2.3 turbo. Just started doing this. I rolled the windows up and all the dash lights went out. they come back on when I stop using the windows. Adjusted the fan speed on the HVAC panel and they went out again. Cycled the key, they came back on until I loaded the window or fan ci...

So far so good. Hasnt been a problem yet. Will update again

Picked up 2 used crank and cam sensors today. Installed one of the cam ones. If it doesnt act up again, I will buy a new one. If it does, I will try the other cam sensor first and make my way to the crank sensor. One concerning discovery was that the cam sensor I had appears to be newer than the use...

Always starts when cold. If I stop to get gas for example, it sometimes won't restart. Cranks but wont start. Wait a while and it will start. Fires right up, no sputtering, no excessive cranking. No fault codes. As it does this randomly, I was for the most part, unable to troubleshoot it until today...

No faults have returned so far. I can assure you the car is a 1996 GLT wagon with high pressure Turbo.

Didnt find any issues with the vacuum lines. Pressed on the plug wires, two of them plus the coil wire clicked. Might have dislodged them removing the air box. Also found the coil wire resting against the crank sensor wiring. I just hope it was something as easy as this. cleared all the faults, will...

Hi all. I have 1996 volvo 850 GLT wagon, 2.3 turbo. I just replaced my coolant hoses from the engine to the heater core (on monday). Since that repair, I have had a random stalling when pulling up to a stop. Very intermittent, yet concerning none the less. Faults retrieved are P0302, P0336, P1310. T...

I have had the same thing happen twice this winter. Car wouldnt rev over 2500 rpm without the hoses collapsing. I limped the car to a self wash and used the power washer to thaw out the intercooler so it was driveable. let it sit in the shop at work with the lower hose off and let it drain.

Lately, since the temperature has dropped well below freezing, my 850 is lacking power under full boost. The boost gauge is reading high and the car seems to hesitate. I have hit the fuel cut a few times due to my TCV sticking. Boost increases rapidly but the car does not accelerate accordingly. It ...
