Hi Art!
Yes you are correct I don't mind you helping me. At any time I'd rather be helped than have to Yelp for it! (:-)
Oh yes, you and I are right, the devil is in the details. Especially for you, because you cruise in that neighborhood all the time.
For me, I just drive around a lot and sometimes crash but luckily I have Angels like you on my shoulders.
I will admit I do try to kiss (Keep It Simple Stupid) things off for not being as not so complicated as they can always appear to be in this world.
I probably didn't help his situation by telling him to check out the timing of the engine either. I brought up a convincing possibilities by bringing up the idea of the physics triangle of rapid oxidation. Air and fuel needs a little heat. Diesels and gasoline engines get their heat one way or the other but it's all timed.
Little did I know, he would tear into the whole car and spend a few weekends doing all the work he did do. Guess he had the time and maybe it was time for some TLC.
From what I can tell from the picture and posts he is doing a great job!
I admit a little slow and long for us!
But hey, that what keeps these cars alive to do what they were built for and a BrickBoard.
He said he went through the wiring covers under the engine but it's true he might still have a rats nest like your picture very adequately shows.
I was suggesting my short cut ideas to get him off the relay hunt!
His last post frustrated him and asked for explanation or some reason for the no voltage signal. He is getting, All of this, from our armchairs!
You are saying no fuel pressure and or wiring. I just want to know if it will run at all, especially, after all the work done. Frustrations can go a long ways to stop the hands from working.
Getting a pressure gauge onto that rail is a process.
I know because I silver soldered my own Schrader valve onto my fuel rail shortly after getting the car. I never gave it a thought of pointing it downward.
Definitely Not like Volvo did with it point down onto the engine to keep down a possible big fire!
I don't know why Volvo did what they did unless to sell adapters to the dealer parts departments.
You can get refrigeration hose adapters to make that turn but how many owners know that and have refrigeration equipment and want gasoline in their hoses.
Whoops! I have done that! Both are petroleum products and a good vacuum takes care of that! You got gauges and hose why not? They deal with liquid and vapor pressure just like any other Bourdon tube gauge.
There I go again, I kissed it!
Thanks for pointing out the details, again, it's all good food for thinking about!
Phil
