Motor hesitation in acceleration 🚨 900 1998

Hi Eric the Swiss,

OBD codes are listed on this page. Other resources exist.

See here:
https://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/EngineOBDCodes.htm

You recorded the LH-Jetronic 2.4 OBD codes. (Not named Bosch Motronic?)

You appear to have a possibly faulty AMM/MAF, oxygen sensor,

1-1-3 - Fuel trim (lambda control) too lean or rich (may also be failed 02 sensor)
1-2-1 - Faulty signal to/from Air Mass Meter
2-2-1 - Fuel trim (lambda control) too lean at part load as you drive
2-2-3 - Signal missing to/from idle air control valve, faulty connection / disconnected.
2-3-1 - Fuel trim (lambda control) too lean or too rich at part load
2-3-2 - Fuel trim (lambda control) too lean or too rich at idle

Ignition control Fault Codes?

You can reset fault codes with your OBD-2 port scan tool. And as you drive what codes return for both fuel injection and ignition.

You can inspect and test the sensor and the idle air control valve (maybe clean if carbonized, and if carbonized, inspect the crankcase ventilation).

Your used replacement AMM / MAF may also be faulty.

How lo9ng have you owned this Volvo 240?

If you have a catalytic convertor, a prolonged period f running rich or running lean will ruin a catalytic convertor.

Also, in the air filter box, is the preheater flap valve to blend preheated air that comes from the exhaust manifold through a solver accordion like hose and into the lower air filter box port. The hose routes under the water pump fan shroud. The air temperature thermostat (Borg Warner Wahler PN 704110) gets stuck to all hot all the time and in summer the AMM may not sirvide it. Replace the thermostat.

You can test your AMM / MAF and oxygen sensor with your electric digital multimeter:

Other article here you can find contain additional procedure to test connected sensors.

A link to your Bosch fuel pressure regulator. Does the FPR appear factory fitted?

Else, I'm unsure what to tell you.

Hope that halps.
