The big silver box inside the compartment behind the drivers seat. Has a big multi-pin plug going into it. Leaving it there won't do any harm though, its just redundant with volvo gear.
Sell it Or Sorn it

Btw you think the ecu not getting any feedback from the oxygen sensor kills the fuel? Although I had fuel literally tripping out my exhaust manifold:p


To be fair, your post was at 1:10pm and I answered at 1:14pm. Reap it real !!

Follow my original posted link as this will literally get you started from a known state, otherwise you will go around in circles, if not then I won't be able to help you further. .

Know ab. You were fast but j had already gone to far before. When it tried to screw it counter clockwise it fell in:(

I still have question.

Jason told me the only vacuum line I need is the one from the intake manifold to the distributor. I did notice a vacuum lead on my cpr but I lack an extra exit on the intake.
Is the cpr vacuum crucial on the Volvo config?

Follow my original posted link. Remove the vac lines to the cpr first. ...

Update.
After a Long task of removing the Head and reinstalling it all up with a couple of efforts, I got the engine to last about 5 seconds but shaking. Touched both exaust manifolds. Cylinders 123 work, 456 don't. Fuel is sprayed but no firing going on I guess on that side.



Edit.. Scratch that... I am getting some action slowly.
