Help! 940 doing my head in!

Willthevolvoaddict · Jan 3rd, 2018, 19:46

Hi guys,

I need some help, for the first time my Volvo is doing my dead in.

My 1992 940 2.3 GLE Auto non-turbo that is running like a dog. When I start it in the morning it runs perfect, idles fine, pulls well and smooth gear changes. After about 2 miles its starts jerking, the idle at stand still jumps up and down and the gear changes come too soon and are also jerky. Power just about disappears, my old 940 S auto would have ran circles around it.

I have given it a full service, all filters, new plugs and HT leads, changed the MAF and engine temp sensor. That was just about all I could find on the forums. Also checked the flashing light diagnostic and comes up no faults.

Has anyone had an issue like this?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Will

Hey Will, this would be better in the 700/900 series general section. I am sure someone will move it soon!
The only other thing I van think of is a split vacuum hose nut I am sure someone more knowledgable will be along soon!

What sort of ignition sensor have you? Hall effect, or crank position sensor?
