Title: '93 940 Stalling upon start up
Post by: CJ on 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?

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

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