Re: 1996 850 GLT Wagon Stalling at High RPMs and Over Bumps

Ok got you, I came across that when I was diagnosing the stalling. So far so good, still no stalling and no CEL since that one time I mentioned earlier. Hoping this is it for now.

Re: 1996 850 GLT Wagon Stalling at High RPMs and Over Bumps

The ground wires on the engine block ARE corroded, I'm going to replace them today. I checked under the battery platform, there is one insulated ground wire that had a dirty contact; I hit it with cleaner. I don't know how old the ignition parts are... at least as long as I've been the owner, about ...

Hi there, fellow Volvolians! I have a 1996 850 GLT Wagon that is stalling when I give it too much gas and especially when I hit bumps. The CEL lit up about 6 months ago so I bought an OBD II scanner that read a set P0120 code. Apparently a P0120 may indicate a TPS fault, so I removed it, cleaned it ...
