Position Sensor

Hi there ... thanks so much for the quick reply. It's a '93 850 GLT, non-turbo. I've only had the car for about two months, and it stalls very intermittently (about 4 times in the last two months). Reading that the CPS is a commonly problematic on these cars, I bought a used one (ebay) that came off...

Cam Position Sensor Education

I saw a pic on either this site or another, showing a capped port, between the power steering pump and the diagnostics ports, but none on mine. I'm thinking that perhaps this car has had some wo...

AC compressor cycles; '93 850; only seeing one port

First time Volvo owner here. I recently bought a '93 850, and was told that the AC worked fine. It was a cold and rainy day, and I believed him. Anyway, it doesn't really work; the compressor cycles rapidly (5 seconds or so). I bought the R134a refrig with gauge. Guage is perfectly in the blue (perf...
