1984 Volvo 242 that will not run.
Рет қаралды 6,353
Ай бұрынOur local friend and fellow Volvo fan Eli bought this nice little 1984 242 last year. He paid the man, drove out of the drive way, stopped down the road for gas and the car never ran again! Well it sorta did once for a little while, long enough to get stranded HUNDREDS OF METERS from home!
It's a nice B23 LH2.1 Auto, maroon with a tan interior. That he bought to tinker with for a while and then pass it on to someone else.

3.73:1 would be stock for an Aw70 B23/230 non-turbo 240. Anyway, seems like Eli now has a second Volvo to permanently add to his collection. He just needs to swap it to a M46 and finish fixing it up cosmetically, and get the brakes working properly.

Love your channel man!! My dad owned a 240, a 740 and a 940 when i was younger. I own a Volvo 480 myself, i've always found it sad the 480 wasnt introduced in the USA, would've loved to see one on your channel. - Cheers from The Netherlands!

Felt this. I actually overhauled the ignition on the 144t this weekend. I couldn't get a consistent spark at boost through anything wider than .025. It would also just progressively get less and less ignitey as the car warmed up. It always felt like it was running on one lung. New MSD 2 and wires I made myself and holy Dyna it's never actually driven this good ever before in my entire history with it. I didn't know what I was missing. It's actually spookily fast now. Point being, ignition problems are like slow moving cancer. Everything kinda works well enough until one day your arm falls off or something.

@fostergrant1812 Ай бұрын
Looking at the cap and rotor I would say your timing is off and has been for a long time. If the distributor is out of adjustment, the timing belt is off a tooth at the intermediate shaft.
@DeanofMachines Ай бұрын
Thats a very good point. The car is probably due for timing belt and water pump too.
