hi bruce,

i was wondering if the fuel filter might be clogged. i did replace it about 30000k ago. but i am unsure how long it went before that. am i able to do the same 30s test by taking off the delivery line instead of teh return line?

also, if i do need a fuel pump i am going to the wrecking yard. here in australia a new fuel pump costs $288 a second hand (not reconditioned) costs $132, through a second hand volvo dealer. if i went straight to the wrecking yard i know i could get one cheaper. and i do have a car in mind. it has several parts i will probably pinch. a coil, which i will test; an ignition module (unsure how to test this, any hints?) and the main fuel pump (which i will most likely test between two buckets of fuel or with aq multimeter if possible?). I never new volvos could be so expensive.

Oh i had a look at my pump and the electrical contacts are a ok.

cannot wait to hear what else you have in store for me.

thanks,
chez
