Re: FI Computer - any Geeks (Elec Eng) out there? 700 1986

Gosh, why aren't all our electrical engineers responding to your "Geek" call? Hmmm. I know I'm not the former, hopefully not the latter, so I'll tell you what I know.

Part numbers on ECU components are difficult if not impossble to cross reference. That part was likely supplied by STMicroelectronics (or others) by special order to ECU manufacturer requirements (Bosch, Luxor etc). The part number will typically be a Bosch private or "house" part number stamped on their closest available component. Information on house parts is generally not in the public domain. Somebody who really knows their stuff may be able to deduce what it likely is. Unless you're planning on repairing these for a living, the most expedient approach is to get a used one from a bone yard or off eBay.

For more information on ECU failures for 740 turbos of your vintage you might be interested in this UK Volvo Club page.
