wow thanks guys for the great responses - i have my motivation back!!

used MAF cleaner spray on the MAF - no change. checked all connections, everything appears to be connected properly. kind of annoyed that i've put all this time & money into it and it's probably...

No spare MAF, this is literally my first Volvo

I suppose I will find out thru trial and error, but hoping someone can recognize the problem and let me know what I'm in for... Founds tons of info in the forums but no clear and direct answers.

Lemme just make sure i understand properly with two questions:

1) If the engine has a rough idle with the MAF connected but doesnt have the rough idle with the MAF disconnected, does this...

plugged the code reader in and..... no codes. i guess that's good? was almost hoping there would be a code, just so i would know for sure what to fix. but it sounds like it's narrowed down to the...

Ordered an OBDII. In the meantime, i started checking a few things. I unplugged the MAF and started it up. It started right up, wasnt a rough idle but instead was revving up at super high rpms. Think...

as far as i know - these are the things that can cause a rough idle... hopefully a scanner will throw a code to pinpoint the issue(s). do i just get a universal OBDII scanner or VOL-FCR? in the...

when i started the car, it did not run for very long. am i able to still check the codes with the engine not running ? i do not have vida/dice - what's the best place to find it ?

so i got everything put back together, refilled all the fluids, and cranked the engine. needless to say, it does NOT run properly... it sputters and dies. what a let-down! no clue what it could be....

Yeah I guess since it was all sold as a single part, i just wanted to ask if it came apart to replace just the hose. First-timer problems!

I guess its called an Evap hose? Looks like it only come as a single part for like $100... Was hoping just to replace the cruddy hoses. Anyone replaced this before?

I think i figured out the strap - the strap goes across the top, the single hump(?) end slides in the back side, and the double hump thing slides into the front side. I mean, its sturdy and doesnt...

Also why can't i figure out how this strap thing goes back on?

Anyone know what size/type (or name) of this hose that goes from the bottom of the turbo inlet to this check valve thing? Also name/part number for the valve? I can't really read what it says. ...

great idea, thanks! i feel dumb for not thinking of that before breaking the nipple off the TCV... however, this will definitely help when getting the other ends of the lines off the turbo - which...

Good to know! Ordered from FCP today. Probably time to replace anyway - if the hoses were that corroded I doubt the current one was even functioning properly!

Is this worth $90? The only other one on IPD is aftermarket for $70.

i got the silicone hose kit for the TCV, but the old hoses are so brittle and crusty and stuck... I was trying gently as to not damage anything, but sure enough the yellow one was so stuck that it...

Like this??

So, i was installing the top end of the lower radiator hose, and when i pulled my hand out my watch caught on this hose and it came out... Rookie mistake. Now i can't figure out where it goes. -___-...

Finished rebuilding the injectors with the kit I bought - including new filters, o-rings, and UNIVERSAL style pintle caps. Still undecided if I'm going to stick with these pintles or splurge on...

So, in case anyone was wondering, I got a final answer on the fuel injector dilemma! Turns out, the Bosch III injectors accept three types of pintle caps - universal, cone, and washer styles. Go...

Update on the fuel injectors.. Got a response from the seller of the refresh kit. They said the Bosch III injectors only need the 2 o-rings, a filter, and a pintle cap - but no spacer/washer. Except...

Good to know! Haven't installed the belts yet, so I'll just exchange those. Actually, come to think of it, that's really the only parts that aren't OE or Genuine Volvo! Besides some hose clamps and...

So the injector rebuild kit came with pintles but no spacers. I think the broken piece is actually the spacer and these injectors didn't have pintles.

The top...

Just making sure people are actually reading this! Haha jk the rear diff oil is for the wife's Expedition. Was just listing items from my order sheet without paying attention.

You think FCP could...

i don't know how y'all spend all this time working on cars AND taking pictures AND posting excellent write-ups!! i'm having a hard enough time getting the work done that i forget to take pictures...

Hey what's your opinions on a salvage title car? Looking at adding another project, but hesistant to pull the trigger. I'm guessing it wouldn't take much for an insurance company total out a 25 year...

do the original rear calipers have 10mm or 11mm fittings? i believe the fronts are 10mm, but the rears currently on the car have 11mm, and both options are available to purchase. do i just buy 11mm...
