Excellent for having it fire up. Happy to help and thank you for being cool and genuinely appreciative. Brickboard faq link below if you don't know about it. *note: the faq is for 7/9 series but helpful for things like lh and other overlapping systems on 240s *...

For sure you can use the cars battery. (I just like using the tool battery for portability and at the Junkyard it's nice) My thinking is then at least you can rule out the iac if it works and move onto other testing. With corrosion and that, the issue could be in cars wiring for sure or like...

Yeah there should be an arrow, good catch. You want that arrow pointing towards the engine

It should only fit one way for both iac (idle valve) and tps. If you had other connections off I would start there. If not others will have better testing procedures but you can try putting 12v to the (unplugged) outside pins of iac and momentarily using middle pin as ground. (12v to one pin...

Meant tps (throttle position switch) not idle switch. Sorry couldn't figure out how to edit reply

Check to see if you mistakenly plugged in the wrong connector to the wrong part. Thinking idle switch or similar may have a plug that fits the iac as well.

Thought I would update this. I went with the Amsoil PG low tox coolant ~2.5 yrs ago after running Prestone rad flush stuff. Also got their "coolant booster" Dominator I think it's called Engines temps in the hot summer w/ a/c running are cooler and more stable via the mechanical gauge sensor I...

So far so good with the Fram PS fluid + stop leak in (was on sale, not sure on compatibility though). Haven’t driven much but after several days the reservoir is still at max level. Was thinking to find a larger pulley to put on the PS pump if anyone has any ideas on that? Hopefully I can just...

Hey, thank you so much dl242gt Thank probably explains why the leak changed sides to DS *and likely causing a little left pull now* And yes the dust boot covers the nut as you said. Thank you much …I’ll post back with any info on if adding PS stop leak has any effect after I drained the Type...

Hi, I have an older JY CAM steering rack on my 740 that’s on the way out/already done as both DS and PS ends (where dust boots go on) are spontaneously leaking like wild. Anyway, just curious about a part on the PS (right) on the end of the housing that looks like a slotted nut maybe but seems...

Hello, Have an 740 wagon and cannot find where the grounding points are for everything in the rear of the car. Diagrams I've looked at show grounds on the pillars somewhere but... Thanks, any info is helpful

First post here in some time. Let?s start a fluid debate. [anyone maskdebate? (Hint: say it aloud)] I?m looking at using either Prestone Low-Tox or Peak Sierra in a b230. They are Propylene Glycol based and the Sierra looks closer to what Volvo Specs. Also for anyone in CA (California or...

Hello turbobricks, I was a member here years ago for a few years and haven’t a clue what my user name was. Recently I acquired a 740 station wagon and thought I’d come back home. I was a well behaved member mainly posting in the mechanical section. We’ve owned 240 variants, 7xx/9xx series, and...
