Hi friends, As some of you might know it is possible to enter in debug mode in (at least some ) infocenters. To do so, press the reset button before turning on the ignition. You can see how many litters of fuel you have in the tank. You can also see the sensors values but in the range of 0-255 ( sin...

BTW,
Robou: pluging the hole from the outside (and not between the manifold and the intake pipe) a high reving engine. Pluging the hole between the intake manifold and the intake pipe, leads to low idle.
Cheers

Yep, PM sent

Hi,
I need urgently the theottle brass screw that adjusts the idle. It's for a 91 turbo.

Anyone has one that can sell?
Cheers

Hi everyone, Volvo has stopped producing the spark plugs for the turbo model. In my case a 91 b18ftm (no cat) I always purchased original ones since in the past I had many issues due to non-original spark plugs. For instance i had some issues with some bosch ones. So does anyone know good ones that ...

Hi guys,
What about the vacuum pipes that control the heater.
On the turbo, the heater has vacum pipes to control the direction of the blower.

Yes, i need the part 1.
Wheel in fact i dont need the foam thing.
Just the valve inside.

BR

Thanks James,
However that post refers to the non return valve connected to the idle controll valve.
The valve that I am looking for is the one that is inside the foam cilinder just next to it.
The valves are quite different.

Ah! I forgot.
Yes its for a 91 turbo.

Thanks and BR

Yep, valve is broken.
I want the one that conects to the block.

Hi guys,
Sorry to bother is there anyone able to confirm the point number 2?
Should the resistance be 10kohm.
BR,
João

Hi everyone, I'm having yet, more issues with the '91 turbo. last month it started stuttering heavily. When starting cold on idle I can hear some misfire and the engine is very weak and sluggish in lower RPM ranges. If I push the pedal a bit harder than 30% on lower RPMs the engine misfires. I took ...

Hi, I agree with Rachel. the most probable culprit here is that diaphragm valve just before the ICV. Those give all sort of issues. Even if it has not gone bad, I would suggest replacing with a 710N valve. I had a very similar issue (if not the same) in the past. Take a look at Rachel's link You'll ...

Hi guys, Last month I decided do swap the suspension springs on the '91 turbo. The front ones went withou many issues. However the rear ones are proving to be harder than I thought. I'm having troubles disconnecting them from the rear axle. There is a bump stop holding them which i cannot remove. On...

Hi,
The slot on the brass throtle screw ( the one covered by the blue plastic protector) is gone. I cannot adjust idle.
Is there any replacement screw? Or do i need the whole throttle unit?
BR

Hi guys, Sorry if this is the wrong place (I know it's not an electrical issue but It seemed the best place) My odometer is not working. The reason being that the toothed wheel that connects to the electric motor broke. Right now I'm looking for a replacement. Can anyone let me know if this one fits...

Anyone?

Hi guys,
I'm able to clear the rear springs from the top mounting.
However, the bottom of the spring is stuck due to the bump stop. I'm not able to remove the bump stop (at least in one piece). It does not have a retaining pin that I can find.
Any one knows how to remove it?

Hi guys, So, since last year I've been experiencing some rough idle issues on my '91 Turbo. At first it started as a puff here and there when idle-cold. It was like one or two a second, but very unnoticeable. On the last 2~3 months it got very worse: the idle would not stop going up and down, betwee...

Thanks Robou for the help, I was looking at one of those coils and although they had more primary resistance, since they were described as High-output (40kV), I was thinking that It would produce a stronger spark (perhaps higher secondary to primary winding ratio). Any more specs I should be concern...
