1988 volvo 760 turbo - trouble

I have a 1988 volvo 760 turbo. it acts like it is fuel starved (i.e., losing power, stalls, dies while driving). I think the fuel filter needs to be replaced. Can you tell me where the fuel filter is located? Can you tell me what other mechanical problem(s) that would have the same symptoms? Please help!!

Check the air pipe from the air filter. make sure that it is connected to filter box top. if it is loose the car will run rough and stall.

Immobilizer is shutting the car down most likely. Try a different key see if it happens to the other key or bring it to volvo and have them get a new key for it. And have them check the anntenna for the immobilizer. The immobilizer system will shut the car off if it does not sense the correct wireless signature from the key, after a few seconds. You can take the key out of the ignition then reinsert it, try again see if it starts.

More common problems not volvo specific:Plugged fuel injectors maybe, turbo controller problem maybe. Or an ignition control module problem after it heats up. Hard to tell.

I used to have that same exact model and year of car and it had a turbo controller problem that would only be noticeable if at high altitude, 5000ft or above and engine under significant load( climbing a long hill) the engine would surge up and down constantly. Replaced the turbo controller and it was fixed.




Good luck with that

The bearings in the turbo may be shot. Check the shaft in the turbo if you can wiggle it around its bad and will need to be replaced or rebuilt.

87 760 turbo volvo. wont turn over. it will act like it but dosent. if it dose turn over and start it will run a bit spike to 3k rpms then die out. fluid lvls ok when it dies it shakes violently
Check starter connection. Mine does the same thing. Also check belts. A pressure hose could be unattached. Right above the starter there is a hose. Check all of them to make sure they are hooked up.

760 accleration issues I have a 86 volvo 760 turbo with over 183,000 miles, and recently it has trouble acclerating on hills, and some uneven surfaces when it the car will almost drag itself to the top of the hill and then suddenly shift into gear downhill. When l tried to acclerate, black smoke was coming out of the exhaust. On the interstate the car would not go any faster than 50 mph, the engine would stall if pushed. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
