Compensating Puzzel 200 1992

The car starts perfectly when cold, runs and accelerates well. In about four minutes it looses power, runs rough and stalls below 1000 rpm. After cooling down it repeats the same problem. Throws only code 2,2,4. I ordered a new temp sending unit but I don't think that should cause so serious a problem. She's had bad temp. sending problems before but never behaved like this.

Any thoughts???

Volvo 240 wagon, 391,000 mi. have since new.

    Compensating Puzzle 200 1992

    Your 1992 240:

    OBD Socket 6 for the Bosch EZK ignition, code 2-2-4 indicates a faulty engine temp. sensor.

    And your verified you have all codes from the EZK socket six and got only code 2-2-4?

    Did you check socket 2 for the Bosch LH-Jetronic codes?

    Do so. If you get one code, repeat so you get all codes using both sockets.

    The http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ would suggest verifying both the temp sensor as well as continuity from the spade lug that connects to the temp sensor to where ever the hell that circuit terminates at the the ECU boxes.

    You could check temp sensor impedance while on the car at cold and then, when safely connected so you don't burn yourself, when warmed up. I'm unsure, but when the fuel/ignition temp sensor has failed, it causes the fuel / air mix to go fuel rich. But I'm not sure, may go lean. Blame my dyslexia in so may ways and means subtle and gross. I may be getting K-jet and L-jet / EZK confused (Mr. Kotter!).

    As many miles as you have, and being in Bohemia in NY-state would indicate possible corrosion among wire harness connectors and perhaps ground connections on the unibody. NY-state, like other Northeast and Midwest states, lay down eight tonnes of salt for every snowflake, so compensate for any wire harness corrosion problems at connectors and grounds to the unibody. (I'm repeating myself, yes?).

    Questions?

    cheers,

    Luck.

      Compensating Puzzle 200 1992

      Thanks for the detailed reply to my puzzle. I went back and read the #2 codes and it reports a faulty injector.

      This is my guess as to what is happening. when running cold the injector is staying open long enough to achieve an air/gas mix that will fire. When the computer switches to the 90 Centigrade default tem the shorter pulse doesn't let enough gas through.

      I ordered new injectors and will update my progress next week after I install them.
