'94 940 Turbo hesitation and Check Engine

Post by volvocole »

My wagon has a check engine light on with persistant off-idle hesitation (worse when cold). It also surges at heavy throttle before the automatic shifts up.

I replaced the fuel filter and the problem was unchanged.

My first (or rather second) guess would be throttle position sensor.

Any experience with this on the forum?

Thx

Have you any fault codes from the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) unit?

This makes diagnosis easier and you can check for codes yourself on that model.
