'96 850 Turbo Starting Issues
'96 Turbo Wagon with 140k. Its starts everytime but starting yesterday (day after I got back from 1500 mile road trip) it idles rough and misses, and there is smoke (smells like gas)coming from the exhaust. This will only last a few moments, maybe 20 seconds or so, then its fine. I have had no issues with the car and it runs excellent aside from the breif starting issue. It seems to only happen when the car is cold. I really dont have any idea what would cause this, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

first check airfilter, then MAF, then purge valve.
Any code you get? |
thanks for the reply. there has not been any codes, but from what i understand about this year model is that everytime you turn it off the complete OBD system resets itself (had problem with smog shops because of this). If this is true, i probably havent driven it far enough since the problem started for the error to register. I really hope a error comes up because this bothers me since i do alot of road trips with the car. thanks again

I had the same problem after a road trip in my 96 850 turbo sedan - it only happened the first 2 times I started the car after the car sat overnight after the trip - then it went back to normal with no recurrence.
I don't think the OBD resets every time it is started. It may scan each time it starts, but I had to get a code reader to actually clear a code that I had fixed. |
The I/M monitors probably reset each time you start the car. Mine 97 GLT has this problem.

so funny, the car is fine now. just like the other volvo, it did it a couple times now its fine. so strange that on previous road trips, nothing like this happens. I guess its just a volvo quirk, which i'm fine with because thats nothing compared with other cars i've owned!!! thanks for the help anyway!!!!
