Hi,
any good sources for ordering volvo parts within canada. My '88 760 turbo seems to need an maf. No dealer where I live but local mech. wants $540 for a rebuilt. Wouldn't be so bad if I was sure this would fix the problem but this may just be the start of replacing parts till problem (intermittant accel. problem) goes away!
Thanks.

Consistent advice around here is don't buy rebuilt AMMs. Better to take a chance on cheap used ones until you find one that works well.

Then again, if your problem is coming off idle, have you cleaned your throttle body and IAC valve, and checked the operaton of your TPS?

As for ordering volvo parts, I buy most of mine from www.fcpgroton.com. Delivered to my door, even with US exchange and shipping, it's still a great deal compared to dealer prices. Just make sure they ship USPS (not UPS!) to avoid exorbitant brokerage fees.
