'93 940 Stalling upon start up

CJ · May 21, 2008, 09:50:37 PM

Well, my first car has a problem. I think it's the spark plug wires, fuel pump relay, rpm sensor, or the the throttle just not being taught enough. So, I'll make a video tomorrow if it happens again. It stalls after you start it up and you have to restart it once or twice. Madman, I need you on this one!

Do Volvos have IAC valves?

That was my next guess. Yes, they do. That's probably it. How do I go about checking this?

Unplug it and see if your car acts any differently.

Usually just upstream of the throttle body. I'm sorry, but I don't know anything at all really about Volvos. They do have a following though, and I'm sure you can find a Volvo forum- maybe?

Just don't let the car idle.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. Volvo forums away!

I thought Volvo forums were just about how to install different baby car seats.
