Re: Important Information on Ecu issues (850,S70 series)

Please. There must be somebody out there that can help me. I've already broken part of the support for the windshield fluid fill tube. Now in trying to force the metal strap off, I can see it slight crack just starting at the bottom of the box by the strap. I could really use someone insight and kno...

Re: Warm start problems on 850

I use to have the same problem on our old Benz. It turned out to be "weeping injectors", ie when you turned off the engine, the gasoline left in the lines would drain through the injector(s) and consequently "flood" the engine. After a period of time, a flooded engine desipates t...

MIJ, I replaced wires with OEM Volvo Bougicord. Plugs are Bosch, same as what came out. Klaus over at brickboard suggests compression test and wire tester. I guess I'll try that.

I did indeed replace the ignition coil with a used one off an '96 850. They both ohmed out "good", but I replaced it anyway. The new {old } one only had 131K miles so I considered it much newer.
