Say, Bob, I cut my Volvo teeth on the B23F LH2.0 83/84 240s, so I kinda know what you're going through.

Best advice I can give you is read whatever Bruce says carefully and follow it.

Meanwhile, you'll have your fun with Haynes until you realize they have drawings in there for markets other than US/North America, and of course, the 83/84 years have other engine and fuel options, which make wire colors and so forth seem to not match up. The most confusing of all is when you follow the map for the fuel relay on the main page, you are looking at a k-jet fuel system; the LH is on a separate page. All depends, of course on which of the 7 different editions of Haynes 240 you wound up with. You'll get so frustrated that when the Bentley finally arrives in your house, you will celebrate.

Here's my depiction of the ECU pinout, but without spark you'll really be needing the troubleshooting guide for the Volvo/Chrysler (V/C) "Computerized" ignition. Bruce will tell you how to test that with a jumper wire and a feeler gauge.

By the way, once you get your powerful specs on and a bright light out, you'll see the pin number embossed permanently in the Bakelite.
