Volvo 850 Turbo and a bad ECU? Guy trying to sell it for peanuts?
Any tell tale signes of a bad ECU or things that would warrant or to look out for? This dude has a 1995 Volvo 850 T5 and he said that he was taking the car in for maitenance at a shop and the shop fried his computer. He said his friend mechanic (everyone seems to have one:rolleyes:) told him there is no current coming from the computer to the coil. He said the car just turns over and does not fire...is he crazy or just does not have a smart friend mechanic? Or is this a symptom of a bad ECU? just wanting to see everyones opinions:D

Sounds sketchy...
If a shop fried my ECM, they would be buying me a new one and my car would be working just fine... |

my car was flooded and would not turn over for **** so i pulled plugs and dried them off and put lil oil in each cylinder and held gas down for 30 sec than i cranked and it started right up so it could be that.and if the shop ****ed my ecu up they would buy me another 1

Sounds like what mine was doing. I took out the ECU and found 2 or 3 of the sockets pushed down and together. After I fixed the sockets and reinstalled the ECU the car fired up.

+1 With Madd Matt. LMAO! What do they want for the car? If it's 15 years old and not running, it should be $500 or less. If that's the deal, you can take a chance. But don't wait 2 weeks like the other 850 because we don't want to hear about you ALMOST buying 20 cars. :)
