I have been trying to email spook with no luck thanks Gene gandt_49620@yahoo.com http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1381577&rss=1 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:12 GMT I have a 93 940 that I bought here in Texas, there are some things about this car that I have never seen on a 940 1. There is a switch for front fog lights (two switches front and rear) but the headlamp capsules are not with fog lights, there are cutouts in the front bumper and wires going to them for fog lights. The switch is a factory switch and the wires are NOT some aftermarket stuff that someone has added. The wires might be from another car or model year, but they are OE plugs and wires. There is nothing left of the actual lights themselves, it looks like this car has hit so many curbs that I am replacing the front bumper cover. 2. In the center of the trunk lid, between the tail lights there is a reflector. It looks too good to be something aftermarket, it could be a dealer option. I have never seen one of these on another car; I have seen some pictures of cars with these reflectors, but from what I can tell the cars are not here in the states. The license plate is what I am going by. 3. On the right hand rear door is a sticker in the little window; it says Special Delivery Tourist and Diplomatic Sales. Can anyone tell me about this? Is it possible this car came from overseas? The fuel cap is green like a diesel? Someone might have lost the original and just got the first thing they could; but it is a Volvo cap. The Speedo is in MPH and not KPH?? Is this car a freak or what? Thanks Gene gandt_49620@yahoo.com http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1378783&rss=1 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:49 GMT ok people I went today to the local salvage yard and got a flywheel out of a 87 740, the interchange that i have from hollander says that this is the right one; but the new flywheel has no tone ring like the one out of the 95 940. I know that this is the right one for a 740, I have had the engine out of my 740 a few time. Is hollander wrong? will the rex have a tone ring on it? is the ring gear that signals the sensor? Help me please Gene gandt_49620@yahoo.com http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1375829&rss=1 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:27 GMT I have 150 psi compression,43 psi rail pressure, noid light flashing on all injectors, checked timming at the distrubtor and the marks on the gears, I have good spark and still no start any ideas thanks Gene gandt_49620@yahoo.com http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1375394&rss=1 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 04:09 GMT Thanks for the input. The 93 940 is na, as well as the replacement engine from the 95, I have changed the idle control valve, the injector rail complete with the fuel pressure regulator and injectors, and all grounds are tight and just to make sure that was not a problem I ran a block to body ground. The 93 is a regina (coil is a module looking thing on the LH strut tower and there is just a small plug on the intake tube; nothing like the air flow sensor on my 87 740) I have not changed any other sensors. Like I said before the fuel pressure drops as soon as the pumps stop running and I have 12 + volts to the injectors. It did start and run like crap for a few min but that has been it. Thank again Gene Gandt_49620@yahoo.com http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1374590&rss=1 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:10 GMT I bought a 93 940 with holes in the block, I put a engine from a 95 940 in it and I have a not been able to get it to run. It did start after cranking it for a long time or if I put some gas into the plug holes it will start and that is it. I had a pressure gauge on the rail and had almost 60psi, but as soon as the pumps stop the pressure drops to 0psi. The code that it is giving me is 2 2 1 it has 12+ volts to the injectors but I don&#226;&#128;&#153;t have a noid light to see if the injectors are firing. I have changed the flywheel sensor and still nothing, when I crank it the tach doesn&#226;&#128;&#153;t move Any help would be great Thanks Gene Gandt_49620@yahoo.com http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1374497&rss=1 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:28 GMT I am replacing the engine in a 93 940 with one out of a 95 940, I am driving a 87 74. all three have a different color injector, black, in the 740, yellow in the 95(i think) and teal in the 93 (i think) what is the difference? The 95 replacement engine is a EGR and has the holes in the exhaust ports, I was going to switch the head with the 93,(it threw a rod)if it checks out good, they are both 530 heads, any input on this ?? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1366705&rss=1 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:19 GMT naw this is a standard 940, no fogs with the headlamps. the car has a set of wires on each side and holes in the bumper. I dont know if this is after market or what ?? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1358291&rss=1 Sun, 5 Jul 2009 20:28 GMT I have a set of persus wheels that came off a 95 850, they are the 6.5 x 16. I was thinking about putting them on my 93 940 with a set of 225/55/16 tires. Any input would be great, and if you know a good summer tire please let me know what you think. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1357965&rss=1 Fri, 3 Jul 2009 16:06 GMT I just got a 93 940 it is not a GL or a SE nothing on the trunk but 940, it has a switch on the dash for fog lights and wires hanging from the front bumper, are the mounts and lamps the same as a 740? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1357901&rss=1 Fri, 3 Jul 2009 02:30 GMT I bought a 93 940 with a bad engine, and I have started to fix the car up. It does not have fog lamps next to the headlamps but has the holes in the bumper for them, are the fogs and mount the same as the ones on my 87 740? Anyone know where a guy might get a replacement performance exhaust manifold that is not two into one? It is not a turbo engine http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1356617&rss=1 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:46 GMT I bought a 93 940 non turbo with a bad engine, i am getting things in order to put the replacement engine in it. Is there a performance exhaust for this car other than cat back? Is there a replacement manifold the is not a two into one? any other information on other performance upgrades would be cool thanks Gene http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1355770&rss=1 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:28 GMT I bought a 93 940 with 150k on the clock and a bad engine, it looks like it threw #3 rod and put a hole in the RH side of the block. With only 150k on it I was surprised to see this, my 87 740 has over 250k on it and is going to be the engine donor for the 940. the car is in very nice shape and has dealer service stickers on it, so it looks like it had very good care ?? i don't get it it there something about the 93 b230f engine ?? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1342240&rss=1 Tue, 7 Apr 2009 00:33 GMT thanks for the info i got this 93 940 for $200 with a bad engine, i have put a bar on the crank bolt and it will not move at all. the car has 150k on it and is in good shape, i dont understand what happened and the people have no clue how a car works I will be using the engine out of my 87 740 for the replacement and it is a b230f,ohhh well i wish i could ger the b engine; the 740 is a michigan car and it is starting to get rust in some spots, so time for a replacement Thanks http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1339635&rss=1 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:27 GMT I am going form a 87 740 to a 93 940 what will be the major difference in mileage, handling, and overall performance Thanks Gene http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1339172&rss=1 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 21:17 GMT I am looking at a 93 940, I have been told that it has a bad engine or trans and that is all that I know about it I can buy the car for CHEEP and I have a 87 740 that the body is starting to rust out.

The axle got so hot when it went out that the spedo quit working, the old sensor was totaly wasted and the wires look like they got very hot. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1305123&rss=1 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:35 GMT i have replaced the right front caliper, and after reading how to bleed the caliper can someone please tell me what to do and how to do it. I don't understand how to bleed the Bendix duel piston calipers, from what I read the lower bleeder is not used at all, is this the case? If so why is their two lines going to the caliper? I have replaced the pads before on this car and have always wanted to know how this system works now i need to know. What i get out of the information it to start on the LF RF LF RR, did I get it right only use the top bleeder on the fronts?? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1288383&rss=1 Wed, 9 Jul 2008 02:19 GMT on my 87 740 with a auto i have to replace the 2nd flywheel in two years, the center is cracked out. any ideas as to why i might be breaking them? i changed the starter when i replaced the last one with what i thought was a good bosh replacement and have not had a problem with it starting. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1277225&rss=1 Wed, 14 May 2008 16:55 GMT I am working on a 1988 244 with a B230F i have no spark out of the coil.
