- Its annoying at times how a problem can be caused by such a little thing...but so it is. Luckily I can show you all in cases you have a similar issue on a Volvo 240 (possibly other generations too)
My 91 Volvo 245:
• More and More 240's...

ok. you ar e mostly correct. first simply remove the throttle body, simple. 3 13mm nuts. remove tps. clean body with tps removed. the solvent can wick through the shaft and destroy the tps.. ask me how i know. now set base throttle gap. 004? carbon paper is perfect. install,adjust tps. if issue persists, look at the iac valve. you should hear it moving with a stethoscope. sometimes a smack with a hammer and wd-40 will wake it up. 40 years on volvo. retired now. will take a red motor over white 100-1. enjoy your beauty. keep her up and pass it to your grandchildren. cheers.
Hey Malcolm quick question for either of you guys... My 1992 Volvo 240GL, gets really sluggish on acceleration at times. Sometimes I have to ride the brake and softly tap on the gas pedal to keep the engine running, what could it be??
@@baronbruce83 damn. that condition could come from multiple problems. how's the idle? vacuum leaks fairly common. especially at intake gasket. check by spraying carb cleaner at any gaskets and vavuum hoses. fuel pressure issues sometimes. cracked tube between maf and throttle body fairly common. now this is all assuming the engine is sound and maintenance is somewhat okeedokee. oh another thought. disconnect the transmission cable from the throttle spool and make sure it's not binding. hope this helps. good luck.
@@malcolmboynton7652 no vacuum leaks, and the engine is fine on the initial startup, but it seems after a few miles in, the bogging down, power loss and erratic chugging begins... could it possibly be the throttle sensor? I hear that's pretty common too, and reflects all the symptoms of a bad throttle sensor... (1 day later) Turns out, all I needed to do was Adjust the throttle position 🧓
thank you for the video from germany
When my vo's under load it bogs and stumbles but in neutral its revs and idles perfect. Could this be the cause?
