SOURCE: Car stalling

Hi there i too have a 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo, i went through the same awful, dangerous stalling problem if you have the same lights coming up, oil, and what not then sudden loss of power, no engine rpm but other electrics like radio work etc, i could never tell that i was stalling because i always had the music on, but watch the Rpm's i also had no power steering so i found out quick i was stalled, i would then after a few minutes, 5 max be able to restart the car, it should very likely be the fuel pump relay, its located where the fuses are on the left side under a couple of torx screws, its a green most likely relay labeled 103, if its red it might have already been changed or newer, i'm not sure what the colour difference does, but i replaced my relay with a 103 red relay from a 1998, or 1999 Volvo s&0 same relay. I found and researched that its a famous problem and can be many things like cam shaft postilion sensor, vacuum leaks, fuel pump etc, but if you can hear the pump on start up when the car is just ON it should be fine, the relay after time becomes intermittent and switches on and off as it pleases sometimes aggravated by turns and what not i think to due the pump and gas slushing around? However, you have described the exact problem my car had and the Volvo Experts couldn't figure it out, it never stalled for them during roads tests or during a run in the shop, always did for me, its the Fuel Pump Relay* available on ebay, for cheap as pay no more than $60 Cdn, as i think a new one is around that price.
A recommendation is to get the redish pinky one as it worked for me, i know it is newer than the green 103 relay, let me know if it works but it for sure changed things for me, no more scare of ending up a road hazard or being embarrassed.

SOURCE: VOLVO 850 RADIO/CD REPLACEMENT

Yes, its simply to remove the radio wich is there (two clamps, one on each side) retract the connectors.
You might need to buy a compartment to conceal the part of the opening that will be exposed when removing the bigfront-radio.
(Volvo-dealers can help you) And a cableset wich contains the connectors to the Radio-connectors in the 850 and directly to the radio you buy. (Most radio-dealers hava all kinds)

New radio mounts in only e few hours. All included.
Theese Volvos are very well prepeared for this.

What is ignition circuit, where does it locate in 1994 volvo 850?

Did you check all plugs for fire? If fire on some , not others, coil pack bad. If no spark at all cylinders, I would lean toward a distributor cap and button.

My 96 volvo 850 gtl2.4L ENGINE CRANK OVER BUT WONT START I REPLACED THE INGNITION COIL \ POWER STAGE WITH NO RESULTS.PLEASE HELP

Reasons for engine turning over and not firing are simple. Spark or fuel. If you've changed the coil packs then chances are it's a fuel issue. Get in cab and turn ignition to second position whilst listening to back seat. You should hear the faint noise of the fuel pump working. If you can't, I suggest you firstly check your manual to find the fuse/relay for the fuel pump and check that. If they are fine, you need to replace fuel pump.

If you can hear it working and it still won't start, remove the fuel line going to injector rail and point into a jar whilst someone turns engine over. You should have fuel coming out. If this is fine, go back to ignition, remove a spark plug and turn engine over checking for a spark.

My bet is your fuel pump has packed-up. Good luck diagnosing.

Error Code P0302 1996 Volvo 850 GLT

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0302 has a generic description of "Cylinder Misfire - Cylinder Number 2".

A misfire simply means that when it came time for that cylinder to fire, it missed its chance.
There are many things that can cause a misfire. Some of the things are listed below. Diagnostics should be performed to eliminate the possible causes so you don't spend a lot of money replacing parts trying to "guess" what is causing it.

These are just SOME of the possible causes:

> Spark plugs
> Ignition cables
> Ignition coil
> Distributor cap (if equipped)
> Fuel injector
> Fuel injector circuits
> Burned engine valves
> Blown head gasket
> Cracked cylinder head
> Piston damage
> Cylinder block damage
> Broken valve springs
> Damaged camshaft
> Vacuum leaks

Volvo 850gls 1994 starts and turns over normally but won't stay running, will start when car cools down

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Looks like that the ignition coil is faulty. When the ignition coil is faulty the car tends to stall when engine is warmed up. I strongly suggest that you replace the ignition coil to resolve the problem. Not a big deal, it's common on all vehicle.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Have a 91 Dodge Stealth Coil pack for 3/6 will not fire. Replaced coil pack still dead also tried new ignition modoule and it was still dead any ideas on what could be wrong

It could be the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It's in front of the console under the dash. A new one cost about $900. I would suggest taking it to a repair shop for some diagnostics work. I don't think you want to be swapping out expensive parts which aren't bad.
