Volvo Wagon Wants More Parts! Stranded with Ice Cream. No start condition diagnosed and fixed!

- Sometimes cars are odd little things, and sometimes they have jealousy issues. When one piece or system gets replaced with brand new shiny bits other bits get all up in a huff and want to be all nice new and shiny too! In this case, very promptly after replacing ALL the brakes on our 940 Volvo Wagon as you saw in the last video, something else decided it wanted attention and made the car immobile.
So, back onto the rack our old Swedish Turbo Brick goes and it's time to dive into another repair. On any internal combustion engine there are three things you need and these are Air, Fuel, and Spark. Without all three, the "Bang" portion doesn't happen in the cylinders and the car doesn't go anywhere. Simple enough just figure out which of those things is missing and dive in to fixing it.
As you'll see the culprit wasn't terribly hard to find so a fuel pump replacement for the 93 940 Turbo Volvo was in order! Step by step how to video on a fuel pump and fuel filter replacement? Sure why not. It's not flashy, it's not sexy or exciting, but it's necessary! - Авто та транспорт
Do car parts REALLY get jealous of each other? Surely we can't be the only ones who think this is a "thing"?
Austin, obviously, clearly and certainly inanimate objects do not have any thoughts, feeling and emotions, thus certainly cannot be 'jealous' of each other or anything else. Actually, thoughts, feelings and emotion are only human, since only humans are created with the mental abilities for the purpose, intent and reason Our Creator gives these to each of Us: The ability and reality to choose properly using these abilities, aspects, attributes, characteristics including speech. Animals are directed, dictated and controlled by the Creator, often showing behavior that appears as humans, but just given to them, which many call instinct.
Austin, clearly You have much experience within mechanical, mechanics, machines, motor vehicles, and their systems and various parts, components, with information, knowledge how they work and have developed troubleshooting methods, some which You showed in this video vlog post.
In this video You show Your basic process and method of troubleshooting a previously working vehicle motor-engine to discover the issue, problem, source and repair. You start well with describing the three essential elements required for an engine to operate: Air, Fuel, Spark-Ignition.
One of my excellent mechanics teachers, instructors, educators gave us the same basics, including the method, process, steps and actions to check, verify, each of these, and assess, discern, determine, locate the issue, problem and solution. His methods include using minimal to no tools available to a person that drove to a location, stopped, then attempted to start the vehicle without success. What happened? What is the cause, issue, problem and solution ? We had some students with very little to no knowledge and experience prior to the course and were able to achieve every aspect, process, method, repair taught. These individuals, including young women, were all able to handle basic maintenance, trouble shooting including brake pad and shoe replacements during the course. Our first requirement, after some basic information, instruction, and knowledge, was to take apart a properly working single piston engine, having a magneto for spark, then reassemble it, getting it working properly again.
My first viewing of a vlog from this channel was during the Hot Rod Power Tour during the summer earlier this year 2021, driving the AMC Spirit AMX, and having the electrical power issues throughout the event, basically every day. Then, show in the video, were some of the methods, measurement, etc. which You both performed in Your troubleshooting process, steps. During the process Your partner measured the voltage at the battery, alternator and regulator output. When i saw that You both noticed the voltage was below 12 V and worse when it was significantly lower, then determined a possible regulator problem, purchasing and replacing the part, then measuring higher voltage, but still just a little above 12 V, and were satisfied, this was clearly disturbing to me and thought: "Don't or shouldn't these fellows know that the normal output from the alternator, regulator and the battery for the automotive 12 V system is 14.5 V ?!". Well apparently and clearly through the entire event, travel, and trip, Neither of You actually corrected the problem, though managed to return home via purchasing several car batteries, swapping them as the depleted and had added lower power LED lights on the front grill to drain less power. Was still wondering, but figured that somehow, after having returned back home, You probably have manged to correct and repair the electrical voltage level and charging problem. Am still not clear if You learned from Richard what the correct voltage level is for the system.
For me, with checking and verifying the spark, my process usually begins with removing the center wire from the distributor cap to verify spark level electricity exists there and depending upon other conditions of the situation will unlatch and remove the distributor cap, to examine, check and verify the condition of the posts, cleanliness inside [oil and dirt can cause electricity to travel, causing problems, and moisture is also a significant issue], also examine and check the condition of the rotor for proper ability to transfer electricity to the posts. We were taught, to use the end of the center wire to determine if spark energy exists via bringing it close to an non-painted metal surface on the engine, turn the ignition on, and engage the starter motor, and view if an electrical energy arc is seen, bridging or jumping through the air. If the electrical arc is seen then there is electrical energy for all of the spark plugs. Each end of wire for each plug can be tested similarly. The usual first check is done by examining and verifying fuel exists, Firstly know if there is fuel in the tank, If the engine has a carburetor, it can usually be detected via smell and visual checks of squirting into the ventri with maximum throttle, along with examining if fuel exits in the bowl. If these are lacking or the engine has fuel injection, then the next step is to verify fuel is getting to the carburetor or the location which distributes the fuel to the injectors. The input line should be checked to see if there is fuel getting to that location, spurting out of the tube, pipe and clean. If not then following the fuel line backwards away from there, can be checked to discover the lacking, cause, or reason from source of the fuel in the tank fuel does not flow. This includes fuel line connections, leaks, filter(s) and the fuel pump which can be located near the engine, if it is a mechanical type, along the fuel line or in the fuel tank if it is an electrical type.
In Your case with this Volvo 940 Wagon, You already new from the time of the purchase the fuel pump had some issues, and unusual noise was heard. Thus, once You determined that fuel was lacking in flowing and arriving to engine area, and as You stated there noise which was emanating from the electric fuel pump and familiar had stopped then the logical choice is was certainly the pump was not working. Normally, the electrical pump can be tested if electrical power exists at the terminals, is operational, and the filter can be checked if it is clogged. Clearly from the external conditions of both and Your familiarity of the Volvo fuel pump-filter assembly, it was reasonable to change the filter along with replacing the pump as You did.
All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being.
Sincerely
That's have the fun & joy of buying a used vehicle is all the poo the previous owner knew about , but didn't want to deal with. Spaceballs the Squeal! The search for more parts!
I love my 940. I understand the simplicity of these cars. Usually not the end of the world when they “let you down”.
Completely true. Yes, they do break down, though not often. However 95% of the time it's something simple and easy to get to, with a semi cheap/easy repair.
Your lucky it is the high pressure pump and not the fuel tank pump, the replacement of which is one of the greatest exercises in masochism.
Oh dear, no start. It takes some time cranking to refuel the fuel lines and the filter. Nice job.
Luckily have NEVER had to replace that pick up pump in the tank, knock on a thick skull that I will avoid that situation for as long as possible. Fortunately these really are some simple repairs to get it back on the road for... who knows how long.
Yeah, gave me a moment of fright there but as I washed my hands of all the gunk I really was saying to myself, you drained like a half gallon of fuel out of the lines no kidding it didn't start right up you goof!
@@LucoreAuto Volvos, you gotta love 'em. But that fuel tank curved right over the drive shaft ... what the hell is that about?
Keep this trick I devised years ago for the future when you do carbutator work..
Try this... Heat the plastic tube from the carb cleaner spray with a lighter (about 1/4-1/2 inch from the end. Then pull on each end of the tube to stretch it. This makes the outer/inner tube diameter smaller and more of a pin point. When the melted plastic solidifies, use small wire clippers or nail clippers to snip the tube at the smallest diameter that still provides flow when spraying. The cleaner comes out like a pin point pressure washer and the shrunken plastic tube end fits inside whatever port your spaying thru.
You can also do the same to create 90 degree angles in the plastic tube to spray sideways inside long venturi tubes.
I used to make/keep custom tubes around for these situations. Hope this makes sense. BTW.... Great videos.
That Amazon in the back will be as popular as the Capri
Lol shhhhhh we can't talk about that yet 😉 Wait until you hear the backstory of it!
At the end of the vid you give your reasons for buying an old Volvo.These are the reasons I purchased my 940 recently.
They really are hard to beat for stupid simple dependability. No super complicated systems, no hard to get to sensors that fail causing the car to not work, no super crappy materials that are destined to fail just with time. Congrats on YOUR Volvo purchase!
Not being a smart arse but I was always taught that you need 3 things working correctly to run an engine. Fuel, spark and compression.
No need to apologize but yes same thinking :) If it won't get any air you'll have nothing to compress but yes you are correct in your thinking
My dad's buddy had a 1982 Volvo gl 4 speed with electric od sitting in his back yard for years he said throw a battery it and if it's starts you can have it well she fired right up I couldn't kill that car👍
Before Toyota was the "legendary dependability" company, Volvo was there smiling quitely and tipping the hat. That's 100% exactly why I purchased this first 940 Wagon, and why I purchased a second 940 Wagon once that one finally needed transmission work after 220,000 miles. And it's still no where near dead, just needs some TLC and will keep on humming. Don't even get me started on the 122s that's making a Cameo in the intro to this video 😉
@@LucoreAuto In British Touring Car racing they actually raced a pair of Estate / (Station Wagon USA)Volvos I think in late 90's early 00's . They did very well , maybe the T5 engined ones , not entirely sure
These are nice cars, but two things to have in the glovebox is a fuelpump relay and a crankangle sensor, those are common things to fail on these cars
Oddly have never had an issue with either of those two things but that's good to know, will have to order some just in case. Not all break downs happen when you are 20 minutes away from your shop where you can easily fix things ;)
@@LucoreAuto the best selling items we had at the junkyard i worked for😅 i live in sweden and have driven Volvos the last 20 years. So i had my fair share with storting out the common problems with theese cars
Am I experiencing dejavu? I thought I saw this just last week in my feed.
Hmmmm I don't think so? Maybe saw a photo of me stranded but it wasn't the actual video. Fortunately it was a short walk. AND there was ice cream :)
Thanks for the vid, I think I have the same issue, liked and subbed
Noticed your RPM Guage wasn't moving. Possibly the crankshaft position sensor. It's a quick change and only $30. Usually you can wiggle it to get it to work well enough to get you home.
That was my first thought too👍
I miss my 940 lost her a little over a year ago
They are great cars, sorry for your loss! 😞 This one I knew had some issues when I bought it, but they are hard to find so I snatched it
@@LucoreAuto yup I been watching ur volvo vids from the start I had the one that was urs twin in the town u bought that in. If I ever find another I’ll grab it in a heartbeat. Till that day I have to be happy with my jeep zj 4.0
@@radnybolt5327 she will live again, there are plans afoot for her to get back into service 😀 I'll keep my eyes peeled for another!
I always wanted a Volvo but I figured something catastrophic would happen like a transmission go out and cost a fortune plus a pint of blood lol 🤣🤣🤣
The transmission situation is probably the weak point of these cars and unfortunately they aren't very common so not easy to just "pick up a new one". Even more unfortunately the turbos were never offered in a manual here in The States 😞
@@LucoreAuto but they are easy to manual swap😄
@@LucoreAuto I hope you continue to enjoy your car and I will enjoy my 2000 Nissan Sentra GXE automatic very reliable and a I keep it in good shape she's a zippy little car, surprise's me how the 1.8 performs. I've owned Big blocks before and I know I'm not winning any races lol 🤣🤣🤣 but winning at the Gas ⛽ Pumps I don't visit them very often lol 😆🤣. Happy Thanksgiving.
LoL great job 👍👌 but I'll stick with my Chevy's 👌👌👍
The pump parts# are confusing, but, that Delphi pump looks like the pick-up pump for the tank and not the main pump under the car. The give away was the wiring. Scandix and FCP Euro seem to be pretty good at not mixing the pumps up, but a lot of sauces do. How has it worked out in the long term?
Volvo Amazon ? Very Nice !!!! ❤
ps did notice you didnt add the copper crush washers !
wouldnt just putting ignition to on (red warning light) prime the fuel injection side ?
Yessir 😀 All original '64 122s B18 just sitting back there quietly waiting 😀 And why didn't you yell something at me to not forget that crush washer!? 😉
Yes we definitely could have power directly to the pump to see if it turned on to test the pump itself.
@@LucoreAuto Haha I did shout , Maybe its just that the little bit of water inbetween us that swallowed my attempt to voice my anguish . think its called the Atlantic Ocean ? lmao ....yeah Amazons , such a lovely shape !
@@LucoreAuto
Whistle up those guys in Sweden that put a V-8 Mercury 2 stroke in one.
my subie has a bad sending unit i have been puttin off for over a year now.....its probably gonna leave me stranded, but dang it i just dont wanna fish it out! it isnt hard to get to....im just lazy! lol!
That's almost always the way of things isn't it? Eh, it'll be fine for a little while longer.... 10,000 miles later, man I should really get to that before it leaves me stranded. Just because I CAN do a thing doesn't mean I WANT to do a thing
I always thought it was fuel, spark and compression not air. Air is apart of fuel.
Air/compression can basically be thought of as the same thing. If the intake is completely clogged you can be getting fuel and spark but with no oxygen to burn you don't get a bang
@@LucoreAuto but with no compression you don't get combustion.
@@robertjohnson7728 very true. Suck-Squeeze-Bang-Blow for motors to make noise 😀
Hi Austin, quick question, didn't the banjo bolt that the leak came from, needed copper seal rings? Just did an 89 w124 that has a similar set up of external fuel pump and a similar sized fuel filter. Just asking, as when I took out the old filter, it had 2 copper seal rings sandwiching the banjo and the new filter didn't come with seal rings. Did the same with what you did and tightened the crap out of it, but after a couple of days, started to leak at the same part as your Volvo. Thankfully I didn't get to throw away the old seal rings and put them on, so far no leaks and its been a couple of months now.. So I'm curious if theres a need for seal rings or do we just torque the banjo bolt down? Great work on the Volvo by the way. Cheers!
maby do an egr clean
That's actually something I for sure want to tackle in the very near future, lord knows how long it's been since this one OR the original wagon has had one done. Pretty simple service but can solve several different issues.
Do you have any knowledge on a PNP switch or a nuetral safety switch!? I have a 1992 Volvo 940 SE non turbo and a couple days ago I was leaving Walmart and it was like my battery died !!! Also my shifter wasn’t going into park so I kinda slammed it up and it felt like something broke when it did. After that it still wouldn’t start up and i had to start it by crossing the positive and negative on my starter just to make it home!! Now it don’t turn again like the battery is dead but it’s a good battery still!!!!
There's nothing wrong with an old Volvo that you can't fix with a bigger Holset.
You know.... that MIGHT be coming 😉
@@LucoreAuto ...Excellent.
is there one vehicle you have that is somewhat reliable?
The AMX 😉 but generally speaking these old Volvos are. The other wagon I put 50k miles on and did very little work to it
4 blocks? Wow. No fun at all.
No it was not, but at least there was ice cream! 😀
@@LucoreAuto I smell deja vu
@@rawr51919 lol feel like I've been through this before?
