Are you going to port that exhaust manifold?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
Are you going to port & mill the flange flat on that exhaust manifold?

Nice rice
Clean and check your battery terminal your starter may not be getting enough amps.
fixed for accuracy & goodness!
nice 764, love the aero kit!
Its gonna be good times im sure.. for now a bit of an update, i got some starting troubles (i had to hit the starter with something big and it would start again) so i decided to swap the starter from my B230F from 89 to my B230ET 86 that is in White-Rice.. wow what a difference in a few years thats gonna take a few KG off just like that! small detail car still wont start, I'm now charging the battery again too see if that might help
Here's a pic of the 2 starters:

I got the starter working already as stated later in a post, i will update this though cause you are the second person to tell me this, bdw thats why i love TB just a bunch of guys helping each other out
alternator hooked up and charging good? I assume it works since i pulled it off a 80K miles car (overheated engine)...
already found a plug for the lambdasond hole? I have a few broken old ones if you need a plug... can drop it off at the post office today.
It depends on who makes the chip of course...I dont know how the chipped settings are on the tuned Chips but from what i heared the motronic chips are only used for removing the boost limits of the motronic injection system.[/IMG]
So finally i tested the second ECU i bought for my whole chipping bit. The ECU ran great on the car so i moved on with installing the chip in the ECU.
It was so much more easy then i though it would be, opened the box up flip the chip out put the new on in and back together it goes. no soldering at all!
A little less happy i was with the result though, now i must say that the car was a bit reving up and reving down in Idle (vaccum leak maybe?) but when i installed the chip it really came up.
the engine revved up and down like crazy almost dieing when idling down.. I dont know how the chipped settings are on the tuned Chips but from what i heared the motronic chips are only used for removing the boost limits of the motronic injection system.
here's a pic of the ECU in case you wanna see what that looks like:

Some manufacturers really cheat their way through it.
Where did you get the chip from? What box number are you running? Is it B230 engine? Idle air valve is quite common fault in those engines, it just worns out and are usually really dirt and sticky inside. Clean it and the throttle body too. Leaky bypass is other common place to cause idle problems.
And yes, most so called chiptuners just mods airmass limiter map, even in LH chips... Motronic chip, when properly done, can give pretty nice gains in power, driveability and even mileage.
Then it is probably done right.Chips is from Rica, not a complete unknown tuner on volvo's but no fred chip quality i am sure

Chip is from rica, box nr is 0 261 200 022. Engine is the B230ET from 86.
Idle air valve had been cleaned and checked less then a year ago (by putting 12V on it and it made the CLICK noise) so could check all the air tubing again soon i suspect a leak before clogged up lines to be honest
