So I was replacing the corner lenses and turn signals on my '85 760 and noticed this: That's the positive for the corner light on my USDM car, if that helps. Said fried wire is connected via this connector: Which fits in this housing: I've been checking my usual Automotive wiring...

Morning TB- after doing another infuriating oil change on my 1985 760 Turbo this weekend, it's time to put the filter in a less stupid location. TB search turned this up- https://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-15715 as a decent option. I'd install -10an adapters and make some swanky hoses to...

Car is a 1985 760 Turbo, LH2.2, Just recently finished converting to a block mount distributor, and now have no spark. I was poking around with a multimeter today, and it looks like the Hall Sensor wiring may be damaged now. I performed the test outlined in the 700/900 FAQ: "Undo the...

Car is an '85 760 Turbo, 2.2 car. This has kind of been an ongoing saga that seems to be coming to an end, but this last part is stumping me: Initial symptoms: Car would start and idle immediately like absolute crap until the temp gauge started to move. If you tried to drive it before that...

Car is an 85 760 Turbo. Since I'm fed up with dealing with leaks from the head mounted LH 2.2 dizzy (second one I've resealed started leaking again last week- thanks MTC), I'm thinking seriously about doing the block-mount conversion, but had a couple questions before I drop money on a new 240...

Car is an 85 760 Turbo. Trying to be as detailed as possible, so this might be a long one. When I bought this car, it refused to idle. Replaced the IAC, then it wouldn't drive AT ALL till it got up to temperature. This is the current state of play: Symptoms: - When started from cold, the car...

After getting the 760 (1985 Turbo, LH 2.2) back on the road, started to notice some burning oil smell. Tossed some leak detection dye in the motor, and this was the result: It seems to be coming from the top of the motor, and primarily dripping in this location on the passenger/exhaust side...

Car is the 85 760 Turbo in my signature. Got it back driving again after a long while sitting and after about 50 miles the car started to shift extremely hard. It's also very reluctant to shift- at light constant throttle it holds on to first until 3500 RPM then slams into second, and highway...

In an effort to get rid of the obnoxious feed/drain hard lines for the stock T3 on my 760, I ended up making a -10an drain that works nicely. I also purchased the Kinugawa -4an oil feed kit they list for the 760, and I was sent the following: So then, before I go slapping this thing on...

Afternoon t-bricks, hope this nonsense finds you well. I've had the stock T3 from my '85 760 off the car to do the exhaust manifold gaskets, install a flexible drain line to a shiny new Yoshifab block fitting, and some other sundry items on the exhaust side of the engine. I got everything back...

A good morning to the TB hivemind. I am in the process of reconditioning the turbo side of my 1985 760. In the process of doing the exhaust manifold gaskets, I noted that my turbo drain hard pipe was leaking like crazy not only at the block o-ring, but at the turbo as well. I pulled it off and...

TLDR at the bottom, appreciate any input from the TB hivemind. Car is a 1985 760 Turbo, LH2.2 and EZK. I am diagnosing a slight misfire at idle and stalling when cold. When warmed up, the car runs just fine. When the car is cold, the symptoms are as follows: - The ignition timing jumps...

I finally finished fixing all the vacuum leaks, installing all new sensors and a new wiring harness in my 85 760. It runs much better than before. That part is rad. However, it's always run rich, and with all the new components, I need to set a new baseline to either fix the problem or help me...

Good morning TB, a quick question for you all. I'm mid-teardown in my 760's engine bay, and the time came to install the shiny new set of Kingsbourne plug wires I had. I was bummed to see that none of them have any kind of positive engagement or "click" when pushing them on to the plug end...

I'm starting this thread to chronicle the goings-on with my turd of a 1985 760 Turbo that my wife has affectionately christened the "Jurbo" (that's pronounced YUR-bo, get it right). The plans are to get the car back to a real stage zero, then add a few go-less-slow parts. My long term goal is...

This is hopefully an easy one, but with my local dealer being a bit of a joke, I figured this would be my next stop. My 85 760 is extremely low mileage (both a blessing and a curse), to the point where its only on its second set of brake pads in 33 years. Its also the only 7-er I've ever seen...

Please see link below for image. I can't for the life of me find anything on Brickboard, or in Haynes or Chilton about this part (wiring diagrams didn't help either). It's a Red Bull can-sized motor sitting behind the drivers side headlamp with a vacuum diaphragm on its side. It kicks on/off...

I have a 1985 760 Turbo I recently purchased. When I test drove the car, it started eagerly and ran really nicely right up until I gave it a boot full of throttle to see how she boosted. Boost was great, but as soon as I let my foot off the throttle (from 100% open to snapped shut), the car died...

In another thread, I documented myself being an idiot and causing a no start condition on my 1988 780 V6 (lh 2.2 and ezk-115k). The good news is that the car runs! After much diagnosis and head scratching with a multimeter, the following were found to be fried and were duly replaced- 1...

The car in question is a 1988 Volvo 780, B280F, LH 2.2, EZK115. I have been chasing a problem where the car will start and drive perfectly well for roughly 7-9 minutes. As the car gets warmer, the car will stumble and buck, and at one point I couldn't give the car gas at all- it just wouldn't...
