So, you say that the engine always starts when its cold, or warm but the temp sensor is unplugged. If you unplug the temp sensor, it switches to cold mode... Sooo, the engine start in cold mode. Otherwise dont. Fuel problem maybe?

is there immobiliser in the car? / the engine always starts when it is cold, and problem comes when its warmed up a little bit? no immobiliser.. Yes, but cold start sensor also replaced with new one. Spark is OK, no fuel. Maybe fuel ECU ??? which one is it ? the black or silver ? fuel ecu is the si...

lol, i tought the red arrow points to the fuel pipe. sorry.

my guess would be the fuel pipe for the injectors, but it would be nice to see a larger picture without the red things.

Thanks Captain.



No more oil leaks, it seems.

Well, today was nice, I removed the nose cone to fix the popup lights, just for a quick repair, but... I removed the bumper, to install the new front spoiler, then I went under the car, to check oil leaks, I was happy, there is no oil leaks from the engine, at all, the bottom is dry like a desert. B...

Ghost in the shell.. I did a little trip with the car, after warming up I could not behave myself, so wrooooom... :) and the idle problem faded... I was convinced, that this problem caused by one (or both) valves (dump and the other) I already ordered the vw/audi 710N valves, but it seems there is s...

The car has done 2500km wihout any major problem. However I still have idle problems after full throttle, but hopefully it will be solved this week.
Further modifications on the way.

Hello, Well, I have a source, who made copies from an original one, (actually he made copies from the pollenfilter housing as well, stronger and thicker material than the original one) I already ordered two, will get them within two weeks. If you want I can send some photos about it and ask for a po...

I uploaded some pictures to the set. So, I will drive back to the garage this weekend to do some more work on the car. First, we put the front Volvo badge to the wrong place. :D The front bumber still not in the right position, I guess the holders in both sides were deformed, I have to fix it. And s...

I take this under consideration.

it can be done! you are my hero!
okay, I know what will I do in my freetime from now on.

(anyone wants to buy a B18FT, completely renewed, only 150km since then, with richmod and all cable looms?)

we did it. its over. after 8 months, its finished. finito. fine. :D i took a 150km trip today, and its even better than I tought. the engine runs smooth, the clutch and gearbox are flawless, the interior is massive, no noises, as it should be. :hopping: Of course it will need more work, but for now,...

Of course it wont be ready by sunday. The glassman did not fit the windscreen properly. It needs to be fixed, but only on monday. Anyways,the interior will be ready at least by tomorrow.

Changed computer (the jetronic) and its much better. Not perfect, a bit too much still, but runs very well. Maybe just need to drive, dont forget it was standing for over almost a year. I need only fit the hood, the front/rear lights, and the bumbers, put the seats in, and ready to go. I will have t...

well, the problem still exists, obviously it gets too much petrol. if not the sensor or the injectors, what else could cause this? maybe the jetronic failed? could be?
