1989 245

Post by FireRescue8 »

Hello. A 245 I recently purchased has almost gotten the best of me. I'm not giving up on it, but I'm just about out of ideas with it.

I continue to get a MAF sensor code. I've tried 2 different, new sensors and the second one, although aftermarket, seemed to work. The problem then though, was the O2 sensor. I wasn't getting any value changes when I tested it. I bought a new Bosch O2 sensor, installed it and now I'm back to having a MAF code. This MAF was tried on another 240 and that car ran fine.
I've also replaced the fuel pressure regulator and air intake hose. I've checked for vacuum leaks and have found none.
Next I am going to pull apart the PCV system and clean it, unless someone has a suggestion.

This isn't my first 240, I am an auto technician, but I'm not necessarily a Volvo technician.
