'97 850R 84,000mi Sped & Odometer in and out

I've noticed recently that my spedometer and odometer quit functioning during my drive. Its an intermittent problem and is usually fixed by simply shutting the car off and restarting it. Any ideas? Is one of my connectors loose? Also, I have been noticing a very, very strong gasoline smell in the ca...

Volvo said that the fuel pump wont hold pressure and thats whats causing my shutter and stall. They also wanted $900 to replace it. No thanks. I'm looking in my haynes manual, and it looks like a more complicated job than a novice can handle. Is it really that difficult??

So that didn't fix my shutter and stall problem. I'm back to square one and have an appointment with the dealership to take another look. I hope they can figure this out cause i'm out of ideas and i'm getting really frustrated. For background info on my story please see: https://www.matthewsvolvosit...

I changed the sensor tonight and looked at the connector. It had some green goo which i can only assume is from corrosion. I cleaned it and fixed the clip so it stays in place on its own. I am concerned that it still isn't accelerating very well. Any suggestions on what that could be and how i could...

So I started it up and it wouldn't accelerate very well. At first it surged a few times, then it would accelerate very slowly. It was taking up to 2 city blocks to accelerate to 45mph. I almost made it to work and it shuttered really bad (like previously) and then it died. I had to tow it about 12 m...

No, the wires and plug are fine. I do think its just the clip, so i took some craft wire my wife gave me and secured the sensor conector to the plug. I havent turned the car on yet to see if there is a difference. I guess my question would be this...Is what ive done sufficient or will i need to repl...

New Development with crankshaft pos. sensor

1997 Volvo 850 R 82,000mi. So I went to change my crankshaft pos. sensor this morning and as I went to remove the old one, the white connector slid right out of the sensor wiring. Upon closer inspection i determined that the sensor wiring is not snapping the sensor in place. I looked closely at the ...
