Thanks again Chrissij,
Oh Yee! I finally got it started on Sat. I haven't replaced or fixed anything, so I'm still concerned what was actually causing my flooding condition. I now suspect the Air Mass Meter was the cause. I was lacking any real "turbo acceleration" during my test drive. At the end of my Saturday shade tree mechanic day, I disconnected the AMM and the engine started to idle much better. So I'm going to locate a good 016 AMM for a change out test drive, replacement, and/or spare. I also want to troubleshoot the air bypass valve, since the motor doesn't kick into fast idle with the air conditioner on. I spent yesterday removing the "funky foam crap" from the air box lid - quite possible the root cause of my problems. I had already discovered it was deteriorated, but left it in place due to lack of time/laziness (I just bought this car). While I was at it, I opened up the air box intake port on the engine side (which was factory plugged). For being a turbo, Volvo sure did restrict the intake. With the air box in stock form, it actually appears that only about 20% of the filter's surface area is passing air.
Peace,
Russell
