After six and a half hours of washing, cay bar use, and wax, the car looks and feels GORGEOUS.

The running issue is seeming to be better.

It only took a few tries to get it to start and run. Sometimes it starts right up, other times you have to try a few times.

After pulling it out of the garage after the wax job, I took maybe five tries before it started up and stayed running. When it finally came alive, you could hear a relay under the dash clicking a few times. Sound like a bad fuel pump relay?

I'm hunting down starters as we speak.


Timing belt kit is arriving via UPS tomorrow. iPD shipment should be here tomorrow or hopefully by Friday.

I WILL have pics in the afternoon. Finally time to post them

 

Hey guys.

I just got my timing helt and water pump kit from FCP. It came with a Continental timing belt. Is it a good belt or should i go to Volvo for an OEM one?

 

That is an OEM belt. That is all I use.

 

still waiting for these pics

 

give the man a break. He will post them when he has a moment

but seriously now, post the damn pics already

 

HAHAHA


I know man I suck at getting pics up.

I haven't had time to take them. I had to work all day unexpectedly.

Until then, picture a nice looking, bone-stock, 94 850 turbo in white looks like....with tinted windows

 

Cool.

I wasn't sure because the belt currently on the car says VOLVO in orange lettering.


Pretty sure its the original one. yikes!

 

Yikes yes!!!
If you can still read all the numbers the conti belt will have some numbers the same.

 

Yeah I know...lol

But for $1,300 I can't complain. At least EVERYTHING that needs to be addressed, will be.


I have some pics of the car and am trying to get them uploaded.

Give me a minute or so

 

Here are a few.

I had some more but the SD card keeps saying that a few are corrupt or unreadable.

But, here's a taste.

And yes I got my iPD shipment in today, so I threw that decal on

 

Man,That's one HOT 850... The interior looks nice and the leather looks new!

 

Yeah the interior is very clean and still smells new.

There's some dirt on the door panels, but nothing some cleaning won't cure. Carpets are in great shape and the wear on the seat can be repaired with a DIY kit. But I probably won't touch it because it isn't very noticeable.

 

I also ordered a new Fuel Pump Relay from Advance today. Made by BWD and was $38.00.

 

I am going with these plug wires soon:

nice color. to bad it wasn't a black interior.

very nice.

 

I was hoping my next 850 would have å black interiør but i cant be too picky


I cant wait to actually drive it

 

Update on running issue

It seems as if when I start it and hold the pedal at 2k for a few seconds the car will run just fine

What might that be?

 

Damn, that is clean. Looks like it's brand new. Nice find.

 

Yep!

I picked up an A/C compressor and a starter at LKQ today.

Hopefully they work.

If they do I'll probably just take my old ones back as a refund....lol.


Any more insight on the running issue per my previous post?
