'89 740 flooding, can't find cause 700

Thanks for the responses.

Yes, there's also fuel in the oil.

The ECT sounds like the new prime suspect. I'm passing the info in the FAQ along to my mechanic. I'm no longer using the local indie mechanic, and helping a friend who has a garage and is a good mechanic become a Volvo guy. He resisted some, but is starting to come around and appreciates some of the quality he's seen. He originally worked almost exclusively on domestics, but has more and more foreign cars in his shop.

Anyway, he'll be looking at the car sometime next week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Is the diaphragm mentioned in another post something I should look at?

Thanks George - that info may be just what I needed. As I mentioned, I'm about ready to pull the plug. Already dumped close to $500. on this problem.

Scott
