The flames make it go faster

I'm looking forward to being faster than Pieter for a second year

Check for power on the green/red wire going to the coils. Power at the coils, ground at the power stages, and the ECU are the only things common between all 6 coils. You could also have a bad crank or cam sensor causing no spark signal from the ECU

Yes I am, I'm working on making a piggyback board to control the VVT and e-throttle that'll hopefully play nice with the 960 Motronic ECU. I don't have a build thread yet but I'll start one when the engine goes in Funnily enough the head I pulled from a XC90 yesterday had a broken off metal...

While searching for a dual VVT T6 head for the S80 engine going in my 242 I found out that Volvo added an extra port and hose going to the expansion tank to the top of the thermostat housing specifically to the 2002+ T6 engines. I'd like to delete it if it isn't needed since it simplifies the...

It's M10x1.0. If you have a local junkyard you can grab some caliper bleeder screws off a P2 Volvo and use them as plugs. Also don't forget the suggestion above to drill the hole between the passages or you'll only have 2 pistons working in each caliper

What year 960 do you have? The only thing on the transmission related to starting is the PNP switch but it sounds like you have that bypassed since it's cranking. Sometimes with certain flywheels the polarity of the crank position sensor needs to be switched to get it to start so that might be...

There's a spot on the exhaust side to get to the flexplate bolts. It usually has a little aluminum cover over it bolted to the bellhousing

Do it

Envirosafe. I tore down the engine bay and it was definitely caused by the rubber AC return line slipping out from behind the heatshield, getting burnt by the downpipe and then the line blew and the envirosafe caught fire

There's supposed to be a rubber o-ring and clamp connecting the filler neck and tank. The o-ring is part number 949282 and the clamp is part number 1254606

No I just had an aluminum heatshield sheet with a bit of ceramic insulation blanket at the turbo because I was worried about the fire risk with wrapping the downpipe. I really didn't get to look at the fire that well because every time I opened the hood it flared up.

I'm not entirely sure yet. I was driving and suddenly saw fire shoot out of the hood and in the passenger footwell. My current theory is either an AC line got too hot from the exhaust or there was an oil leak I didn't know about since the fire seemed to come from down low on the passenger side...

What did you do to drop the compression from 10.7:1 down to 8:1 on stock pistons?

AFAIK all 960/S90/V90 got pretty much the same octopus intake except for the EGR port on 95 and older 960s in the US. The FWD 6 cylinder head and intake have an almost completely different bolt pattern and port shape so you can't just swap a FWD intake onto a RWD engine. Here's a picture with...

If that's the VIN you entered on that website your issue might be that you're missing a digit

On a pre cat O2 sensor adding a spacer will at best mask the real problem and most likely just make it worse

It's M18x1.5 but why do you want a spacer?

1. The dryer ports for a 93 240 AC system are metric M27x2.0 o-ring fittings and the fittings for the rest of the system are standard AC fittings. The evaporator ports at the firewall are #8 (5/16"-16) for the inlet and #12 (1 1/16"-14) for the outlet. The stock compressor ports are #12 suction...
