Glad this could be sorted out, odd how it can just be a small thing causing such issue!

Agreed, I was both suspicious and amazed.

Idle adjust screw???

There's a screw on the throttle body that adjusts the idle yes? At least it did when I adjusted it.

Hey Martin, I was looking to sell my J reg 480 ES 1.7 all white (although I know you prefer the two tones and rightly so). I've had a few issues here and there but have taken care of them, including some welding, new exhaust sections, new rad, stuck Odo fixed, tyres all round and more. I'm in Stamfo...

Yo, Just thought I'd give an update on the 480. I'd left her for a while whilst the weather was shite and I've been working. She's running now! I finally got round to changing the throttle body to a correct 1.7 litre version. I did have a 2.0L type on before hand (this was on for a while and she ran...

God I hate electrics.

Thanks for the help Alan.

Cheers fellas!

If you could get values Alan that'd be lush. I should have got a haynes manual when I bought it to be fair!

I was actaully wanting to sell her as I currently have 3 Volvos and little space. I do love her though.

Cheers fella.

Hello again! So I've had a blast at the code reader in port number 2 and I'm getting (in this order): 132 - Battery Voltage (The voltage read 12.8 doing nowt and 14 odd when running) 212 - Oxygen Sensor 412 So Apparently this doesnt exist. I've checked all codes through about 6+ times now and I'm pr...

Ahh ken.

Cheers mate. I'll check back in when I get a chance to look. Currently working during all daylight hours.

Cheers fellas for the help. I'll start with the code reader as you said. I found an article on the reader early so I'll try find that again. I would have thought if there was issue with the throttle position sensor then it wouldn't rev up well at all? Where as it's fine when cold on first start up. ...

Hi thanks for that.

I wasn't sure they had a MAP sensor. All I can seem to find is MAPs for the Turbo version?

Apologies if I'm being daft.

Hi, I'm Ben. I'm new. Have a 480 ES 1.7 1992 So I was waiting a while for a new thermostat housing and the 480 had sat there for a while. Finally fitted the part, car started fine, bled fine, topped up coolant and all was good. Then I went to drive it and the revs start stuttering and falling and sh...
