Hi Everyone, I need a little help figuring out which direction to go... I changed the timing belt and components on my 1996 Volvo 850 GLT, thought I had the timing on. drove around the block worked fine. It sat for a couple of days as the weather was nice and I biked. Then the battery was dead when ...

Almost 1 year later... I finally got around to pulling the water pump. It looks pretty decent. I was hoping to see it look like the picture above but no such look seemed decent.

Anybody else have any ideas? I might try running my camera snake through some holes and see if I see any blockage.

Alright everyone. I know it's been a while and thanks for all your help! I ran the computer on it while I drove it around. 220F Seemed normal operating temperature based on where the needle was at that temp.

Hey Everyone! I made it back with the solution! It only took 4 Months to get time to work on the car.... The Connector that connects to the Temperature Sensors connector was bad. If I wiggled it one way it would show no connection and if I wiggled it the other way it worked. Guess that's why if I re...

Great thanks! I will check my vacuum lines first. It does rev a bit to much when I start it up so that could be a possibility, although it has done that for a long time and this new problem is very recent. If that doesn't work I have another ECT laying around so I'll give that try. Wouldn't the chec...

Hi, I've been a stalker of this forum for a long time. Especially when replacing head gasket on one of my 850's. Thanks! The problem I am having now is my car will drive fine when I first start it. Then after I have driven for about 4 or 5 blocks the car has a terrible time and often stalls on the s...
