Got it! Little "S" shaped hose between the flame trap and oil separator was totally plugged. I am going to replace the oil separator also for good measure mainly because I broke it getting it out.

"I am going to replace the oil separator also..."

Past cracking/splitting issues with aftermarket brands. It would be best to buy a Volvo labeled one. Review the FAQ and old posts.

Hi,

Adding to Javalion's post if you're going to replace any of the hoses associated with the flame trap (s-shaped hose or hose that connects to intake) you will also be warned to use Volvo parts. I have bought both hoses before (aftermarket MTC brand) and neither lasted a year.

when you get the new one, weigh them both and you'll find the answer. good luck, chuck.
