My 1993 245 wouldn't start with a code 2-3-1. So i replaced tank fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. I now hear the tank pump buzz and fuel spurted out of the pressure regulator the first time i clamped it down.
It still won't start. There is no spark. I also replaced the ignition coil and tried a spare Air Mass Meter, but no start. Both computers give me just a 1-1-1 reply after trying to start it.
I'm cleaning electrical contacts wherever i find them now. In 1992, by luck, i found a crummy contact on the computer on my 1984 240 by squeezing it. I also found a tenuous contact in a three-wire white plastic connector under the glovebox on the 1984 model.
Do any of you have experience of where you found lousy contacts in a late model 240?
Or what you think i should check next? I love this car and my wife thinks euthanasia (vehicle) is preferred to towing it to a Volvo dealer. Help (please).
