LH-Jetronic fuel system problem 200 82

My 82 245 with B21F engine with LH-Jetronic died. Ignition system is OK (there's a spark), but there is no current to fuse 5 (in-tank fuel pump) or fuse 13 (relay fuel injection)(except turn signals and seat belt warning[also on 13] work). Appreciate suggestions on what to check next, how to find and check the relay, etc. Thanks.

    Jon,

    You have probably figured out by now that there are not too many 240's around with the B21 and the LH injection. I also have an 82 with the LH set-up. Sounds like one of the 2 relays is stuck or dead. These cars have 2 relays whereas later models have the more common single fuel injection relay. If one of the relays is dead, the car won't start or run. Cheapest and simplest way out is to replace both relays, they are cheap ~10 bucks each or less. Many times you can give each a few waps with the back end of a screwdriver and the car will start right up. Both relays are under the dash on the driver side, they are the old style square ones about 1 inch or so square. If they still have the clamps on them that squeeze them, get rid of them. I just let them sit on the underdash cover. Memory tells me that fuel injection relay sends signal to fuel pump relay when you turn key.

    If that doesn't do it, time to check in more detail. I have the problem solver and can provide additional details, if needed (send e-mail). I have been through this though not recently.

      Thanks Mike. I have a gray plastic looks-like-relay that doesn't click when I turn on the ignition and a metal one that does. I'll wait for my LH book to arrive and investigate further. Appreciate the help!

      My 82 with LH has the relay on the floor passenger side under the carpet at the top of the footwell.

      Good luck and get stainless steel fuses, those old ones can look good but cause corrosion on the brass fuse block strips.

        Thanks Paul. I know the fuel system electronic control unit is in that position. I'll check for relays there. Appreciate the help!

        the first thing to check is the fuel pump fuses. Remove the fuse and clean the ends (and the clips). This is very common. I got to the point, that I left the fuse cover off so I could take my hand and just rotate the fuse. I have an 82 with L-jetronic, and I have a single fuel relay. The quickest way to check the relay is to hold it in your hand and turn on the ignition (it is under the dash just above your left knee- mine is purple). If there is power to the relay, you will feel the click of the relay turning on. You will need a factory wiring diagram to identify the power leads (there are two of them to the relay).

          Thanks norfleet. I found one metal relay that clicks when I turn on the ignition and one looks-like-relay made of gray plastic that doesn't. Now fuse 13 (relay fuel injection) has current but 5 (in-tank pump) doesn't. Guess I'll wait for the Volvo LH-Jetronic book I ordered to arrive. I appreciate the help!
