Car Forum / Volvo Cars / May 200585 240DL Will not start
My DL has been intermittantly missing. Some days, no problems, other days engine misses and stalls. Drove to work Sat. with both low and high speed miss and stalled while idling at a stop. It almost seem like it starves for gas also. The car would not start an hour later. There is no spark at the plug or at the distributor. Coil resistance is good. The fuel pump runs (doesn't sound smooth though) when I jump at fuse box. I don't feel its a fuel problem. The relay solder joints look O.K. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Check the wiring harness, both to the ECU, and to the second ECU under the hood. > Check the wiring harness, both to the ECU, and > to the second ECU under the hood.

Thanks for the advice! What is a good source for an accurate wiring diagram for my specific car. I have a Haynes manual that have multiple diagrams but does not mention my 1985 DL specifically. > My DL has been intermittantly missing.
