Hi all
The car is the 850 t5 gle reg and year is m 1995
Problem i have is the car has no spark from plugs so will not fire
Ive had someone out to look at car and came up with following error code
123
121
214
314
ive been told my camshaft sensor has failed but still would not stop the spark.
There a warning light on dash,the one for fault in starting or fuel problem,
the person tested loads and has no more ideas on why the problem is there,
so im hoping one of you great people from the forum mite have a cule as to problem
thank you all
nathan
p.s this problem came about after i had oil leak from rocker cover,which is now been sorted

 

A bad Cam sensor WILL stop the Spark. Code 214,314

There is also a code for the Mass flow sensor Code 121
Coolant temp sensor Code 123

Did it run once the Job was done?

Follow link to learn how to pull and Clear the codes. Clear them and then try to start it again and see what ones come back.

car ran for about 96miles with the warning light on,drop off to have done and now dont start.Just to say got new sensor and running again,so thank you tech and rest of the forum for the great info about

 

Gald you got it fixed.

 

hello again, on going problem, I keep getting code 214 in the 93 850. new volvo sensor. Also stalls intermitently. Will a cam sensor fail and not set a code? Cleared code a few times and it does come back, any ideas?

 

It is possible to have a faulty sensor without triggering a code on rare occasions.

As to 2-1-4, the '95 manual states it's RPM sensor. See attached for detail.

If cleaning & reconnecting the electrical connectors or the sensor tip does not solve the problem, you may need to replace the RPM sensor. If the RPM sensor is new, I would clean the ECU connection. To do this, you need to disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 15 minutes. When you reconnect the battery, you would have to enter the code for the radio, if it's original, as well as having the ECU re-learn idle speed.

Went to 2 volvo pro's and they found nothing. Keeps setting 214 code and intermittent stall no rhyme or reason. Replaced main relay, factory crps sensor, they tried a different computer, and cam sensor. What next?

thanks for the help.

 

Anyone? Please!

 

Did you test/replace the RPM sensor? Why did you replace CPS? Did the shops you visited inspect the flywheel for missing/damaged ring gear? Have you also traced the RPM sensor wiring for possible short-circuit due to chafed sheath? Or for open wire? Or for dirty/corroded connections? If the same code keeps coming back, it is almost certain that there is a problem somewhere within the RPM sensor circuit.

They checked the flywheel and said it was fine. They tried a different computer and it still does the same thing intermittent stall no warning, starts right back up. Replaced because of code 214 and no other codes. Connections look good, wiring intact from sensor to computer. Thinking of running new wires to computer. I don't know? If it was an open circuit wouldn't it not start?

thanks for any help
