If the manual isn't in the cards, then fixing it definatly isn't. With any EFI engine there is testing methods you need to follow to locate the problem. These methods also include DVM's, code readers of some sort, and fuel pressure gauges for EFI systems.<br />The first thing you need to check is the basics.<br />Fuel system. including fuel pickup, antisiphon valve, lines, fuel filter, water in system, no air leaks.<br />Ignition system. Spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires, all electrical connections. Timing and advance timing.

Veddy Interresting...... Volvo doesn't sell manuals on CD's (That I am aware of, but we are only gas and diesel dealers).

Dave, did you get this timing sorted out? What is your overall impression with Michigan Motorz?

Doc 1, If you have a question, start a new thread and ask it. When you tack on to a thread like this or like the 2 year old post you tacked on to, as soon as someone replies your question is lost.<br />Most people only read the first post, then answer. If you are somewhere in the middle, your lost.
