I recently replaced the in-tank fuel pump in my '86 740GLE. It was a bear to work with but after i put it back in and tried to start it it would not start. I acted like it wanted to but it still won't start. I also noticed that my fuel and temp gauge went all the way to the right. did I do something wrong or do I have other issues going on with it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

The engine will start with a bad in-tank pump but will not start with a bad main fuel pump. Go to www.stepbystepvolvo.com for free guide to 740 no-starts. You might also want to check out "Real-Life Volvo Quiz #2."

Don't know why your gauges are acting up. Could be an alternator/regulator problem pushing too much current through the gauges.
