1990 Volvo 740 fuel injectors not getting charge
Written by: sallies2 on Apr 15, 2010 9:44:06 AM
Car won't start, acts like not getting gas. Fuel pump ok, lines ok, fuel injectors ok, fuel relay ok. No charge getting to the injectors. Still doing the exact same thing, "wants to" start but acting like no gas getting to it. Yes, it has gas in the tank. What else can we look for?

Hi, As a very fresh member I just put one post in this 740 electric gremlin discussion, thinking that I was replying to a message from two days ago, but it was a year and two days ago... so this time I will be very short: Find a pre 1990 Volvo 740. Avoid old cars with ABS. Or, import a good 740 Automatic from The Netherlands and use the transmission only ... Read More
