94 850 Turbo 232 code

Post by skloon »

I am getting this code after driving about 100km, I have checked the vaccuum hoses that I can access and changed them, I see reference to one under the intake manifold but cannot for the life of me see it, does anyone have a photo ? there is not very much room there to poke around to put it mildly

As you have identified, a vacuum leak is normally the root cause of that code and the usual suspect is the elbow on the end of the intake manifold. There is a nipple on the number one end of the intake manifold where the elbow plugs in. If you position a dental mirror behind the power steering pump you can kinda see it. A petite daughter with diminutive hands can actually get it hooked up again without taking off the intake manifold.
