volvo voo-doo doo-doo 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be whale on  Mon May 24 03:34 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Well I hope someone finds the title of this topic to be of enough interest to read and maybe even be able to clue me in on a diagnostic nightmare.

We live on a small island with not a lot of resources especially when it comes to things swedish - the car is not running and when i called a guy who claims to specialize in foreign -exotic - cars he said he dosn't like cars that don't run and so don't tow yours in!...and so it goes...

Anyway we have a normally very sweet 93 940 non-turbo. A few months back, just short of 100K I replaced everything I could think of: plugs,rotor,cap,wires,battery,tires,belts(including timing),hoses,drained fluids,aircleaner,fuel filter,cleaned flametrap and cleaned out throttle body and pretty much went through things.

All was great for about 4000 miles then one night my wife calls and says the car just died on her and so began the nightmare.

Getting it home in the rainstorm was a piece of cake compared to not being able to figure out the why.

After a while I discovered the following: when I pull fuse number 11 for one of the fuel pumps, it will start but run poorly. And that is it - I am stumped and I just hope someone can maybe clue me in to what possible relay or some such is messed up - all parts have to be ordered off island and waited for for many days before they show up - so thanks to anyone who reads this...
