In previous post, I was having problems with my '86 245 (over 146K)hesitating, stumbling, and just plain acting ugly after fuel started getting low. I just went in and pulled the pump out. After finding the access cover on the wagon (THANX to info from DON FOSTER), I started my wagon. I couldn't specifically tell if the pump was working or not, as my main pump (a rebuilt Bosch unit that was on the car when I got it) is very noisy anyways. I took the "threaded collar" (I hesitate to say "nut" after all the previous madness today (LMAO) and pulled the unit out (sock still intact believe it or not). I took the unit around to my battery, putting jumpers for the wires directly to the terminals on the pump - nothing happens. Am I correct in pronouncing this unit dead (moment of silence will be held if so) and would this be consistent with my 245's stumbling problem. I am kind of stuck here and need to get my wagon going before Monday - so has anyone had experience with the in-tank pumps available from AutoZone, Advance, NAPA, or O'Reilly's. These are my choices here, or else go to my local Volvo dealership (I swear they take Volvo's already high prices and double them as they are the only Volvo dealership for about 300 miles in any direction). Any input, advice, or warnings will be appreciated.
