'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...

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...

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 ...
