'97 850R North Florida

Like many others, I have to realize my limitations. This 850R black sedan has been sitting since November of 2016. It ran hot on the drive home and has not started since. Mileage is around 150k

I purchased it August 2016 with 149350 miles (did not get to enjoy it much)
From August of 16 to November ...

850R-Next project-control arms, tie rods, etc Torque Question

Now that the PCV job is done with all of your help...I am moving on to the next driveway project. The tie rods are shot so I wnet ahead and ordered a bunch of parts to put on. Anyway, I am going to install new control arms, inner and outer tie rods, and stabilizer bark links. Once I started looking ...

Re: PCV Job Done- New Problems Now

Volvo is a bit of a drive. Anyway, all I could today is take it for a nice little drive. I just realized that I could reset the light myself with the key on and off 5 times routine.

Considering this issue closed with my stupidity of not plugging the plug bag in and dealing with the flashing arrow ...

Re: PCV Job Done- New Problems Now

UPDATE from a minute ago lol (trying to get all I can in before the storm!). Anyway popped the hood and saw the air intake hose popped off. That makes sense. I'm a real mess when I work this midnight shift. Anyways, clamped back down. Also noticed, vacuum hose on airbox fell off. Put that back into ...

Re: PCV Job Done- New Problems Now

Well I woke up and decided to take the car for a quick spin around the block. Well ironically the transmission shifted smoother than ever as I went down the street even with the light flashing. Got to the stop sign, made a right turn, started accelerating and then I hear a clunk? from the engine ...

Re: PCV Job Done- New Problems Now

Did you remember to plug back in the TPS? That can give a flashing up arrow.

Great call. I came home today from the midnight shift, waited for daylight, and went and looked. Sure enough...it wasn't plugged in. I plugged it in and started the car. Light still on. Does the light need to be reset or ...

Re: PCV Job Done- New Problems Now

I don't remember spilling any oil. I believe the only real deviation I made from the PCV tutorial was spraying some sea foam deep clean in the throttle body/butterfly and tried to clean that.
