What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

[Sveedy]

As abscate tinkered with his two tubs in his garage, his neighbors had no idea that what he was actually working on was the first hydrogen powered Volvo. 2" chrome downpipe w/ Delta duel controls. Atlantis, Neptune, or Poseidon wheels ?

I've always liked the Atlantis wheels!

There are few greater pleasures than asking a Lexus/ Infiniti/ Acura owner.....how do you like your a Toyota/Datsun/Honda?

I love that too, I keep calling it a Toyota anyway. Bought it as a non-runner, towed it home with my new dolly (goodbye, Uhaul!), swapped the whole fuel sending unit in about 10 minutes, and it cranked right up. Ran a little rough (old sending unit was all rusted... looks like some water in the gas. Yikes...) but it's already clearing up. I wasn't about the drain the full tank of gas, so hopefully the can of B12 Chemtool I dumped in there will help things.

I've never heard of B12 Chemtool being used for that. Only Fuel Stabilizer. I'm guessing the B12 is just a bit stronger ?
Nice to know about that one.

It’s supposed to have anti-gel capabilities, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I figured it would work better than the cheaper bottle of Gumout they had at Pep Boys that claimed to eliminate moisture. Plus being old gas, it could use the cleaning power of something like B12.

Gum out won’t do much for moisture. Mostly a mix of aromatic ( ring structure) hydrocarbons like toluene and xylene

Don’t breathe in , nasty stuff. Outdoors for spraying

Back home from Finger lakes, another 500 miles with work crew this week

Got garage framed and covered. Building in December in upstate NY is a gamble.

Put car up on ramps to evaluate PS leak in morning.

Worst case is ps pressure line , part number 9485359/ $214 fir Volvo

MTC is $114

PPS is $40

1999-2000 part only

How is MTC so much more than PPS? They're probably coming from the same factory lol.

I wish I could post the smell of the fuel that's in the tank right now... it was almost as bad as the stuff I drained out of my 740 a couple years ago. However that car was sitting for closer to 10 years, this Lexus was only sitting for 1.

PPS are probably the MTC that failed final inspection

Ouch, that’s cynical

Update - rolled underneath and leak origin isn’t cleAr. Hope it isn’t the rack

My rack as dumped fluid out since probably 2 months after installing it. I hope that's not your case too... I'm dreading replacing that.

So i bought this xc90 t6, yes I know garbage trans.

Had a new timing belt, water pump, coils, etc.

Had a lean idle which I traced out to upper charge pipe.

Then developed this hot start issue.

First gave code rpm signal missing i don't recall exact dtc #.

Swapped cpk with spare had from my p80 rn swap no luck.

Did some research and read about the starter worn brushes causing emi interrupting rpm signal.

Replaced starter with a db electronics $65 yes I should've went oem but they have awesome reviews and warranty 3 years.

Well issue solved!! Yaaa wait 2 weeks later hot start issue once again.

Starts about 2 cranks when cold, when hot takes many attempts and often gives reduced engine performance message.

So I figured can't be starter again already i try a brand new (oem) sensor no luck try swapping sensor bracket now i actually get the p0337 and every time rev above 3k I get reduced engine performance that goes away soon as it rests at idle but returns every time revs above 3k again.

I'm going to reseat bracket again make sure I got it tight and straight etc.

Any other suggestions?

Think my cheapo starter bit me in the ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD and lasted the 2 weeks?

I know it's not the engine trans mating surface issue as it was temporarily resolved. When I put the new starter in I tried shutting down fully warm and immediate restart many times to be sure it was fixed and was flawless for the 2 weeks.

Thought maybe was possible was actually crank sensor this time and maybe changing bracket just caused a new issue if wasn't seated properly.

Guess I'll swap bracket back and if no luck bite the bullet on a bosch starter for the $200+....

But open to input..

Measure the resistance of the temperature sender and see if it’s in spec hot and cold
