Hello all you technical gurus out there. Got a problem, thought I'd answered it looking through the threads, but maybe not. 1995 850 auto 138k
1. Car stopped boosting just before taking it for a test, mechanic found a small vac pipe hanging off a right angled rubber elbow the sensor after the Maf sensor down near bulkhead. Repaired and cleaned electrical contact.
Still no boost.
2. Feels like its running on 4 cylinders, not a lot of power, but thats maybe because were all used to turbos.
3.Got it booked into a local volvo independent to be checked as the codes were undecipharable.
4. Lambda light now staying on permanently.
Am I going to wreck the engine taking it to the garage 20 miles away?
Is my cat destroyed beyond help?
Will my beloved be off the road a long time?
I want the 280hp conversion, will it happen or does a new engine take priority
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
