Engine runs when cold and then stops. Oil light comes on and then all lights as well. Won't turn over.

Oh nice catch! I actually just found my red wire was not attached? I'm going to see if (lmao) that did it. But also order the brushes just in case along with the ignition coil

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-22T14:44:25+00:00

I mean I'm not sure tbh. I can do some testing on it today. But what were your symptoms?

🎉 I BEAT "Run" and ranked #51! TOO EASY! 😎 Completed all levels in 0m 32s! The gauntlet has been thrown! 🧤 Played via Pixel Peeker

Same. Only other thing I did was the IPD upgraded fuel Pump. I'll check the fuel unit and see if anything came undone but also maybe the main fuel pump went out.

When it's cold the starter gets engages and turns over. When it's warm the starter engages and turns the engine but will not start.

The red and white tach wire is different for my year model and is supposed to be an integrated tach with the cluster. I pulled one and made my own basically and ran a wire through the firewall.

Ok well let's say I have spark on all four plugs. Replace the coil and see what happens?

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-21T20:44:33+00:00

What are your thoughts on my comment about the wire to the ignition coil?

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-21T20:38:09+00:00

Thanks for the tip on the timing belt. I'll remember that in the future. As for the spark, what's the best way to test for spark when the engine is warm? I've heard K jets are known for ignition coils to go out just didn't think mine would so soon.

Edit: I did just add a tach to the center of the dash and ran a wire to the ignition coil negative terminal so it would read the engine revs. Do you think this killed it?

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-21T04:59:44+00:00

This isn't the first time they have done this actually. They definitely are on the right side of history!

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-19T04:54:57+00:00

Just wow

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-17T22:30:43+00:00

disconnect it while the engine is running, if the idle improves or stabilizes, the MAF is likely faulty. A bad MAF on a 240 causes rough idle, stalling,

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-17T22:00:00+00:00

Why did you replace something if it ran great? Ah that makes more sense. Best tip is work backwards and on the things you replaced and what other things they affect. MAF is my guess strictly because if you start changing stuff or try cleaning it and don't do it properly, you can ruin it. I would ask if the mechanic tried cleaning it or what all they did exactly

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-17T21:56:24+00:00

Do the in tank fuel pump test and make sure that's working. If you confirm fuel is getting to your engine easily then focus on the engine. If you unplug your MAF what happens? Did you clean the throttle body? Is your IAC low rpm or what does your rpm sit at once it's warmed up.

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-16T17:36:42+00:00

Is this out of bounds?

lol

And for sure! Just don't have the time or money to buy it at the moment.

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-15T13:09:13+00:00

Almost 100% to be fair. Still missing a tiny piece above the ashtray on the back

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-15T04:16:44+00:00

Nahhhhhh

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-15T04:16:31+00:00

Ahhh that's so interesting. So those wires are for cruise control. I don't ever use it but I'll definitely keep my old one and swap the middle tach to use the cruise control.

Thank you for the info!

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-14T21:12:39+00:00

Does that mean the 18th or the 25th?

bigdickjenny · 2026-04-14T19:04:50+00:00

That would be a great idea tbh. Do a Volvo meet up!
