Hi fellows,

Yes Art we are talking to a seasoned Volvo veteran and it’s hard to suggest what he is missing!

After reading your suggestions about the pins on the AMM I figured that you had a very good point and as usual you are closer to naming that tune than I.

I did give it more thought and move my mind just a little bit father back. I worried about the accordion hose have a crack around where the hoses connect onto the hose ports.
But he is well aware of all those possibilities too?

That only leaves the flame trap system not fitting up tightly or the hose from the IAC, but again, I was thinking over to least look into thing on the car that’s getting him!

LIKE he said, he must be missing something “simple.”
It could be all the way back down to the gasket he put on and I agree, it’s pretty tough to mess that up unless it’s not down flat. Like caught up on a wire or something?

I have even thought about if the TPS connector wasn’t connected or even got mixed around with the IAC one but I didn’t want to be one of those “turkeys” that has thrown enough thoughts that we end up with rabbit stew for Thanksgiving.

Yes, I hope he finds it before Christmas. If not, I will have to send him my nice round piece of plywood wood that my step father gave me to keep in my tool box.

It has letters “TUIT” carved into its face! (:-)
