DIY Tuneup Hell: SOLVED! Thanks for all the Help 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Updike on  Mon Nov 12 02:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Thanks for all of the suggestions especially the ones with regards to loose hoses. Turns out that one of the turbo inlet hose connectors was loose causing the hose to separate behind the engine where it enters the turbo. Apparently it popped loose during acceleration on the test drive explaning why the car ran ok for a few minutes before all went to hell. The connection is now tight (as well as all other vacuum hoses) and all seems well with the car.

Many thanks for all of the suggestions!
