Hi, my son lost the book that I bought for the 1984 GLE (B23) 4 cylinder Volvo that I bought for him after getting shtuptted for $17K for a rebuilt engine and tranny and suspension, etc. This was over the course of 5 years and my older son drove the car low on oil with the light on and he was told that the engine was bad. I said that it would be a cold day in hell before I sold the car for $50.00 and got it back. Well, my son lost the book for this car. I'm a passive mom when it comes to child-rearing but I want to beat this child's ass all over my driveway.
To get to my point, I'm testing the crank for freespin tomorrow, after I remove the spark plugs, and need to trace some frayed loose wires that I found because the starter will not engage and the solenoid looks like it's missing a connector or too. All connections feel good at the starter and FYI - the starter is on the driver's side and not the passenger's side like the Volvo 260 series that I bought for my mom. I wrote on here before that if the engine is bad, that I am going to drop it out and instead of rebuilding it, will take the advice of the local brickheads and put a used one back in. I found a sweet deal on an '85 B2300 with 85K on it and if this car's engine tests negative, then that's mine. I need an engine stand because I plan to rebuild the old engine for a backup. This car is too good not to. SO, if ANYONE knows of a URL where I can find a wiring diagram for this car, I would greatly appreciate it. I am getting another book, but I won't have it for a week or two and my younger son and I are going to make this car happen before this coming Sunday. My kid's dad died when my youngest was a baby and he always told me he never needed a dad because he had me, so I need to keep stepping up to the plate. I bought 3 cars overall (crash test for one) and am putting them through college and this is how. Thanks in advance.
BTW, I'm greentek@aol.com. More FYI - the frayed wires that I found are green and white and red and white (2 respectively). I'm sure that one of these is for lights. Thanks again.
