yo.
3 months ago when I bought my 940 (1998 LPT version) some sort of rusty, flaky mounting boss fell out of the downpipe while applying some revs to check for smoke.
This didn't affect the drive in the slightest and even after turning up the boost from 4psi to 10psi there were no ill effects. I've been meaning to patch the resultant hole for some time, although it's quite funny as is
However, driving home t'other day it developed a serious misfire under load (coughing and spluttering, lack of power). Mr RAC said it was probably water in the distributor cap - it wasn't. He then said the hole in the exhaust would be fooling the lambda sensor and I should sort it out. I managed to drive gently home (100 miles!!)
I got underneath it and found a distinct lack of lambda sensor, no wires and nothing tucked away...
Under the bonnet, there's this disconnected bit of electrical-ness:
everything else across the bulkhead is connected and present:
excuse the purple vacuum hose, moment of madness/clarity (haven't decided which yet)
So, I'm planning to buy one and a mounting boss. My questions are whether that is the correct bit of wiring to plug it in, why someone would totally remove it in the first place and what thread size the Volvo sensors are (if anyone knows of the top of their head)
I'm also thinking new leads, distributor cap and rotor (had new plugs and a service 3 months ago)
all help greatly appreciated!!
