If the flame trap is clear, you will need to check the hoses attached to it. If that doesn't help, there is an oil trap located under the intake manifold. That is where the gases from the engine leave the engine block on their way to the flame trap. They have been known to clog up. Unfortunately, it is a labor intensive job that requires the removal of the intake manifold first. I only remember seeing one post of someone who has actually dealt with that problem and it wasn't on an 850, so it must not be too common.

Volvospeed website has info on working on the flame trap.

The only 850's without flame traps are the turbo charged engines.

Good luck.
