I'm trying to get my ECC system to work, but I get the flashing AC button and no fan function. The diagnostics test issues error code 233 Fan motor excessive starting current. This is the only error code present. In the winter I rigged up a manual switch + resistor pack to run the fan for heat...

My second venture into 700 turbo wagons is a 1990 760 turbo I picked up for $1000. I rebuilt the suspension with new steering rack, ball joints, tie-rod ends, shocks. I converted the rear from nivomat with the IPD conversion kit (it was on sale). It runs beautifully, however the blower control...

I'm planning to upgrade my 1992 240 to 240+t for as little cost as possible using as many parts as I already have and following instructions I found on this site. I have a complete 1982 120,000mile B21FT engine with turbo/oil cooler/downpipe. I planned to use the B21FT engine's turbo and exh...

I have a 1995 Volvo 940 non-turbo with a fatally damaged engine. I have a 1993 B230F engine from a Volvo 240 which I would like to install in the 940. The most obvious difference is the 940 engine has the in-head distributor and the 240 engine has the in-block distrbutor. My question is can I do...

I trying to help a friend with a fuel problem on his 1990 240. He recently had his entire exhaust system replaced. After this, the check engine light went on, he had hard starting and absolutely terrible gas mileage (maybe 5 MPG). Symptom I found is with ignition switch at start position (just...
