My 1990 245 DL with 257k miles was running prefect until all of sudden, the "check engine light" came on. Right After that light came on, i noticed that my car was reving @ a higher rpm when just idling, the temp gauge was almost near the top, it studars when accelerating, and died the 1st time i went to start it this morning. (my "obd1 engine bay box" does not work - to make things more difficult)
I went through and checked several things, but ran out of ideas. 1st, I checked to see if the Flame Trap was clogged. (nope, it is actually brand new)
2nd, I did the "2 person fuel pump check". (held a ear to the fuel opening while another person turned the key to postion 2). the in-tank pump was very quite, but i did hear it. 3rd, i changed out all of the european fuses and the fuel pump fuse in the engine bay. 4th, i double checked that there was no missing, cracked, or discounted hoses. 5th, checked to make sure the o2 sensor wires were still attached @ the o2. 6th, checked the plugs and wires. 7th - There is the proper amount of coolant & oil in the car And the fuel is @ about 3/4 tank & It does'nt smoke @ all.
I can not find anything wrong!!! if you have an idea of what it is - I AM ALL EARS!!! Thanks - Volvokidpittsburgh. (sorry about the spelling)
