AMM or ECU or connectors?

posted by  someone claiming to be bryan.c on  Thu Jan 2 11:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Thanks. Key off. Battery disconnected.

This '87 230 is not driveable.

I had an '89 240 with a bad ECU that WAS "driveable" in "limp home mode"... top speed 12 MPH and 100 miles from home. A Bosch Fuel Injection Specialists garage replaced the AMM but it wasn't the AMM --- the Bosch guys finally admitted that they could't fix it and asked me to get it out of their garage a week later.

Second garage was an independent Volvo repair that determined that my ECU was bad by part-swapping with another '89 240 [LH 2.4] that was in for service. Their ECU was rebuilt/exhange only & rather expensive.

Anybody else got a real-world tip for me? The Haynes, Chilton, and Bentley manuals all have suggestions that are brief, contradictory & unclearly worded.
