Look for a vacuum hose diagram on the hood of your car, it will explain all of this. The hose from the nipple on the flame trap housing is called "hose 3" in that link I posted. From the nipple it either goes to (a) the small metal nipple on the passenger side end of the intake manifold o...

On the flame trap housing there are two ports.A little one(vacuum line) and bigger hose port.Vacuum line goes to left side of intake manifold.There is a nipple in power steering and alternator area on left side of intake manifold where that line needs to be attached.Since it's '94 there is possibil...

The flame trap is a small disk inside the housing there, it is the piece you throw away: open up the housing, remove the disk and toss it, close the housing back up. Then, reconnect the vacuum lines to the nipple. Check this out for vacuum lines, including the one to that nipple: https://www.matthe...

broken motor mount.jpg I hope the picture comes up ok, this is the first time I have added one. I found the problem, at least probably the biggest part of the problem! The motor mount bushing is completely shot. I only quickly looked at the motor mount arm before and didn't fully inspect it before....

To be safe, if you haven't done it already, I would recommend a thorough inspection of all the suspension and steering related components including the ball joints, tie rod ends, bearings, etc. It sounds like you may have a component that is loose, broken or about to fail. I definitely want to have...

This is going to sound crazy to some, but I am starting to think that this might be something electrical causing this but no idea for sure. Hoping somebody may have an idea! Ok here it goes: We bought the '94 850 sedan a couple months ago. I can tell by how low it sits that I will be needing to repl...

My current Volvo is the 850 and we just bought it cheap a few days ago. It has almost 202k and running great - tho it looks like a slight leak to check out today - but I actually think it is antifreeze. Will know more today as it was too dark to really check it out last night. Now this is an older a...
