WEll,





I finally figured out what caused my 940 SE to stall out and then after a while it was difficult to re-start but when left a few minutes it started out fine but the idle was rough and the car would stall. I checked every thing from relays to RPM senosrs, fuel pump, MAF, etc. But guess what the rpoblem was...the stupid black plastic connector on my windhsield wahser line.the one that has the red top and connects the main line to the left and right nozzles!! The stupid thing leaks water and everytime i use it it sprays water on to the distributor cap and this is what caused my car to stall and have fluctuating RPM. So..lesson learned..anyone having this type of problem check to see if this is the case for your car. What is this red top plastic connector for anyways? Could I just purchase a plastic T connector to replace this leaking part? thanks..

This is the washer check valve: if you remove it, your washer fluid will drain down into the reservoir and it will take some time to pump it back to the windshield. These are readily available for not much money or can be repaired on your own per the FAQ.

..worked fine for me ..no more leak..no more stalling!!

I just replaced my washer check valve last week for $3.88. For my '95 965, the part number is 1392074-9 (delivery valve). Mine wasn't leaking, but the washer stream was weak and would continue to flow longer than it should. There were some posts about 2 weeks ago which also mentioned a procedure for repairing the valve.
