Best is to undo the snorkel, big hose clamp, open the throttle by hand, then a 3 second squirt into the throttle body. Close throttle body,, reinstall snorkel, then test cranking, promptly. You don’t have to run, but don’t wait 5 minutes.

You can tighten snorkel after crank test

Hello,

Oh ok thanks, i'll give it a shot. I also ended up with another question ill ask in another thread.
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.

Look inside the snorkel to see of you need a throttle body cleaning too. It needs this every 50k

You need one piece new gasket for that job…it should look like this…..

Hi,

Ok thanks i'll check that out soon.

I was also wondering, does that metal accordion hose need any gasket?
I'm wondering what holds it into the other hose in the back of the engine.

No clamps on either end if I recall. On the manifold side it should have a sleeve it goes over, and same on the air-box end.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185019791507Here is a link to Ebay with a picture of a NA exhaust manifold heat shield with the sleeve over which the silver pipe fits. It is a snug fit on this.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185019791507

This is the other end at the air box. This picture is just of the air flap portion removed from the main filter box section. The arrow marked ' Hot air' is where the pipe fits.

Hi,

Don't see the airbox end, but you mean i can disconnect at the airbox instead?

This picture is the airbox on it's side. The connector is the tube currently facing to the ground. It is hard to see from above. The plastic has ridges in it on the airbox end to hold it on.

Hi Neil,

Oh that's a nice picture thanks.

I rotated the pic right side up and labeled the ports.
Is this new drawing correct?

Also, i take it the box is held down with that one clip as labeled in the pic also?

Thanks.

I think there's 3 places where it's held down. It's a rubber plug type deally. You just have to pull and the box will come out after everything else is removed.

The top side of the rubber thing fits in the box, and the bottom fits in a plastic tray that's bolted to the car. I guess they're so the box can move a bit yet is still restrained enough to stay in place. The first time I removed the air box on my 850 I thought the rubber pieces were in horrible shape, but they were just dirty. I scrubbed them up in the sink with an old tooth brush and cleaner, and I realized they were fine.

Correct labeling. There are 2 pins on the far side we are looking at that push into rubber bushes on the inner fender. There are 2? feet at this end and you can see one of them. They snap onto 2 splayed plastic barbs.
