===========

These details will help.

Thanks.

yes it has a inertia fuel shut off, The sensor is located attached to the body shell, under the centre console between seats.hope this helps

another way to test it
unplug any fuel line you can locate tell a friend to start key one turn only if the line squirts fuel then pump is working and it might need regulator
if not then pump is gone

Your cat converter sounds like its plugged up,look on your intake and see if it real black

Where roy might have a possible source, it is most likely the park neutral switch which has started to fail. This is indicated by the shift arrow flashing on the dash. Replacement of this component is relatively difficult without a lift

I am a volvo tech and your problem is fuel pressure ralated and i had same problem in 1995 850 turbo and the fuel pump was the problem and a used one is around 35.00

Did you replace hoses to eliminate the codes?? Try checking all the fuses for a start then check for any ignition sparks then try to listen to the fuel pump activation on IGN and STRT as well just try to go step by step and eliinate the different components as you go. Good luck.

DASH LIGHTS ON 850 VOLVOS SOMETIMES THEY DONT MAKE A GOOD CONTCACT I REPLACED MY ISTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HAD TO TKE IT OUT 4 TIMES AND PUT ELECTRICAL GREASE ON BULBS AND CHECK THE DIMMER SWITCH IS ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OR THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH PLUG

Your Gear Position Sensor is failing. It's common on these models for this part to fail. It's common for the check engine light to also come on and store a code for this sensor.
