A thermostat is relatively cheap. So just for peace of mind i'd toss in a new one. Nice score, it is a true turbo (155hp) (not a 940lpt, those are 135hp) the 940's have a lot more galvanised body parts so there should be way less rust compared to the 740. As for not finding D. That might be caused by a low ATF level. When the gbox warms up the ATF expands to the point where D might work fine. It could also just be caused by lack of use ( same for the brakes.) You also changed the battery. This means that the LH2.4 ECU has to relearn it's fine calibrations ( short term fuel trim) so the engine should run better and better as it relearns.
@Involvod2 жыл бұрын
Definitely! It's the 2.3 too, so 165! Really lucky on this one. I can't believe how little rust there is, so so nice after the recent cars.. well you've seen them 😅 Thanks for the tips, I didn't consider that with the battery, I might switch batteries around less often now 😄
@Bassalicious2 жыл бұрын
I didn't know the LH2.4 had learning algorithms, that's really good to know, thanks.
@jfv652 жыл бұрын
@@Bassalicious yes, the lh2.4 system has A. a base fuel mapping which is hard coded into an EPROM (electronic programmable read only memory), B. a long term fuel trim which is 'learned' based on lambda sensor input, air mass meter input and engine temp sensor input which is also written in a memory but which gets lost when you disconnect battery voltage. (Hence the relearning thing after the battery has been disconnected) C. a short term fuel trim which is derived from closed loop running. The realtime lambda, engine temp, AMM sensor signals provide the input for that. A. B. and C. ensure that the engine runs good regardless of fuel quality, elevation changes, ambient temperatures. On top of this LH2.4 system the car also has a EZK module that provides the dynamic(!) ignition timing. It uses the crank position sensor and a knock-out sensor as input. It works like a feedback loop. It tries to continually advance the ignition timing until the knock sensor senses knock. Then the EZK pulls out a few (3?) degrees of advance until there is no more knocking after which the loop starts again trying to advance. But the EZK also uses a hardcoded ignition base map in an EPROM Some EZK'S can also be re-mapped for tuning purposes.
@Bassalicious2 жыл бұрын
@@jfv65 That's some really good info, thanks a lot! I knew about the EZK - pins 18 and 19 even give you an opportunity to offset the base map by -3° to +6° I believe it was. Thinking about it it does makes sense they used volatile memory but I definitely wouldn't have thought to dis- and reconnect the battery after troubleshooting the fuel injection system.

Nice job getting it home. Oh I know exactly how you feel about driving a flaky car with nowhere to stop!!! I had the exact same silver 940 turbo wagon for a few years before my 240. My turbo coolant line wore out which caused the car to over heat and I had to get a new head gasket and have the head machined. Also, the cabin heat diverter valve is known to fail, so watch that. Is this another Volvo with a outside temperature gauge? Is this a common option over there?

Having driven a manual 740 Turbo and now owning an automatic 740 Turbo, I feel the auto is better suited to the turbo set-up / driving dynamics of the car. The manuals are great on the N/A cars when you need to get as much out of the engine as possible.

Так же странно что автомат у тебя японский AW-71 Aisin ведь на европу шли немецкие ZF, на моем американце 92 года точно такой же автомат, но он шел не на европейский рынок, возможно турбина и автомат стоят с более поздней версии. По термостату, возможно помпа с нарушенной(может на воде ездили и общий простой машины) циркуляцией или где то забит патрубок или канал в гбц, может стоит промыть основной радиатор - перегревы красному блоку не так страшны как алюминиевым моторам но все же 4й цилиндр ты пожешь перегреть с ухудшенной циркуляцией.

The answer to your question is: if you don't know when the thermostat was changed, then it's time to change it. The issue with the transmission not going into D may be due to worn shifter linkage bushings. I think there's 3 of them? Or, the shifter linkage may require adjustment for proper engagement.

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with driving shite cars in traffic. It is the single most stressful thing I can think of. Had an '89 Jetta that was a right shed. Made it home just before the coolant hose split. Among other things. Most recently, driving my Cimarron around town and it randomly stalled at a light. Never had that happen with any of my shit boxes.

940s are damn tough! Mine had sat under a tree for something like a year while I was trying to get rid of my Toyota, and after a new battery the car started right up and passed the MOT inspection on the first. So nice to see this one have a good home now.

We also have the same interior, at least up front we do. Looks like you have leather in the back. Mine has the cloth checkerboard throughout.

Beautiful new project! This video was a fun surprise. I’m anxious to see the following videos for this one, especially since my first and so far only Volvo is a 940 Turbo Estate. 😃 Since the overheating seemed to straighten out as soon as you took out the thermostat I’d say it’s not working right. The stumbling and dying could possibly be the MAP sensor…..? I’ve had a few cars with that exact same behavior that turned out to be dirty or bad MAP sensors. 😉 Best of luck with her!

That's part of the reason I was on the look out for a 940 Turbo, it's something we haven't had on the channel yet and I know alot of viewers have one. Thanks for the tip, might be an idea for me to buy a spray for it and give it a clean!

12:02. When I'd first gotten (three-plus years ago now) my 1970 142S it did not have a working gas gauge, and it was a few weeks until I'd received all of the parts to effect a repair. I knew approximately how much fuel I had by my trip odometer. One Friday, sitting at a traffic light with cars on all sides (It is a large one, 3 lanes each way of a four-way intersection) Then one SU carb went dry, followed by its twin moments later. I was fully socked in and the light changes. Yep, busy traffic when the car misbehaving can be very stressful.

I have a challenge for you that might make content for your channel. It's a bit of work so I won't be surprised if you say "P--s off". You now have a 240 and a 940. Compare the ease of replacing the heater fan under the dash in each model. I'm told the 940 is a lot easier (the 240 is a nightmare). Not only would it make good content for your channel but it would be instructional for me. That 940 is a handsome looking Volvo. This will make up for the rusted out 240 previously. Lucky bastard as we say in Oz.

Hi, Canada here. My favourite Volvo wagon (estate). I'd replace the thermostat after a coolant flush and also treat the automatic to new ATF. I was fortunate to order a 1986 745 Turbo, manual with overdrive and rear limited slip diff. A set of Hakkapeliitta tires and it was pretty much unstoppable in winter. If Volvo could bring back one (1) car that would be my choice. Always envious of the European headlights.
