1983 Volvo 240
Green HornetA little test for fun to find who is the best keyboard mechanic on here,
I HAD a little problem with the green beastie today going down to give Steve a hand changing the tailgate on his 850R and popped down to the breakers to up some bits & bobs.
Here are the symptons :-
1. exhaust sounds deeper
2. poping and backfiring more than normal.
3. increase in fuel comsumption.
4. NO boost.
What is your thoughts on what the fault WAS ?

Thanked 3,343 Times in 2,497 PostsCome on then give us another clue
the first 3 sound like the timing is out but that wouldn't explain the last one
Those 3 plus LESS boost might mean knock sensor but I don't think that would kill the boost entirelyLast edited by jamesy12345; Sunday 17th August 2014 at 06:19.
