Hello

i was wondering what parts i can put in my car to make it go faster, like more HP or something, because i dont like the way the car behaves, it is not really fast.......also my car has this problem, i dont know how to explain it but ill try, whenever i start the car, the RPM will go down to like 500 or so, and maybe lower and the car will turn off, the only reason for me to stop this is by accelerating the car and it will get fixed after like 1 min, anyone have any idea whats wrong?

 

I assume the car is a Non-turbo model.
There isn't all that much you can do. IPD sells a cam that will gove you a couple of HP'S but not much.

Also for the idle problem clean the throttle body and idle motor and that should fix it.

 

oh ok thanks about the solution, and i think it is a non-turbo model because all it says on the back of the car is 940......how can i know if its the turbo model or not?

 

Look for the Air filter box. That will tell you if it is turbo or not.
Also if it is turbo there will be metal pipes leading to the radiator area. They go to the intercooler.

 

ill look for the air filter box in the manual? and also can you supply a picture of the metal pipes leading to the radiator so i have an idea please?

thanks for all your help and thanks in advance

 

This is dressed up a little your won't look exactly like this if you have turbo. But look at the picture.

The crome pipes in the picture is similiar to what you need to look for.

 

yeah....my car doesnt have that, so theres not much i can put in my non-turbo model?

 

No there isn't.
It would be best to sell it and buy a turbo car if you want power.

Sorry to say that but it is the truth.

 

i want to sell it, but i would want another volvo, and the volvo i want is the 850....what engine does that car have? and is it better than the 940? im also looking for some clear headlight lenses, where can i buy a pair of those?

 

The 850 is a front wheel drive car. It has a 5 cylinder motor. Either in Turbo or Non-turbo.
In some ways it is better and in other ways it isn't.

It is all preference.

 

hmm i think ill stick with my 940, i prefer rear-wheel drive, thanks for you help, and what about the headlights lens cover? i want a clear one because mine are like...all dirty

 

The lens covers are hard to find try E-bay.
If not buy aftermarket headlights.

 

how can i clean my headlights? they are filthy, like a creamy color and i can hardly see through them....or should i buy new ones? i found some in ebay but they are 69 dollars each

 

There are several companies that have headlight/plastic cleaners and polishes. Also you could wet sand with some 2000 grit sandpaper and then polish them up. Cheers

 

On my Mustang I use Mother Mag and Aliminum Polish. It works wonders on the lights.
It will take you a little while and a little elbow grease but it will clean up some.
