Thanks Bill,
I really appreciate your time. I have so far struck out trying to find a Volvo manual, but will keep looking. I will print out the info you linked to. RSR? Is that the Radio Supression Relay? I see a relay clipped to the left shock tower behind the power steering reservoir that I suspect is what you are talking about. The former owner gave me two relays and one looks like that, but has the wrong connector. I already bought a CPS and have not installed it yet. I haven't even figured out how to get the distributor cap off yet.
From what I am reading, humidity and heat can cause problems. That would make sense because it acted up when hot. When parked inside in a cool garage it starts perfectly.
I will try to buy replacements. It is pretty frustrating that they had to make these things so complicated. I'm seeing why some people go to a lot of work and expense to find old manifolds and carbs, going back to the good old days of poor power and mileage in exchange for reliability. Funny, when I bought my '84 244 somebody asked me who I would find to work on the injection. I responded that with a manual and VOM they are pretty simple. I live over 60 miles from a dealer and don't think they have anybody working there who is old enough to be an expert. They have zero parts. I couldn't even buy lug nuts there for the 244!! This 745T is a bit daunting.
I bought the 745T this to be our occasional highway car. It is the first one we have owned in 20 years that gets washed and waxed. The 244 is a gravel road, local beater. An old Jeep is the snow plow and a 99 F250 carries loads and a camper. All except the 740 are way over 200,000 miles.
Bob in very rural Montana (There is only one other 740 in the county and I've only seen one other 240)
