Hi guys..
i just bought a 940GLE B230FT 3 days ago.. the only driving experience i had is when bringing the car home from where i got it... and now it wont start.. it cranks but just wont start..
"classic Volvo experience".

but first.. i just need to know what is ecu types.. the only thing i know its is later 1997/98 940GLE turbo model ..
right-hand drive (correct side )
with OBD2 16pin style socket at the Ebrake..
i already diy my obd-LED tester and it gives 232 - at pin 3
and 111 - at pin 1

anybody can help me with the ecu's specs.. i just dont know what or where to look for this..

: vin plate confusing me

232 appears to be lambda control (O2 sensor) fuel trim too lean or rich at idle.
111 indicates no fault.

The VIN is a puzzle. It shows year of manufacture as 1991.

Open up passenger-side side-panel...and maybe look up around steering wheel. If two boxes, most likely Jetronic.

Volvo would sometimes ship different ignition/fuel setups to different countries. I think this is related to how strict emission law was in a county.
