I have a bigger than ever problem with cold start 1992 240.
When cranked it acts almost like after ignition and there is a strong smell like too rich mixture. In the end it will finally start, if the battery hold out. Once running it acts as it usual quirky self. Is there a FAQ for 240 like there is for 700 cars? I also have a 740 GL. I need to get this car going.

    Hello:

    After the car actually starts, shut it down and pull the vacuum line off the back of the fuel pressure regulator-- is there gas in the vacuum line?

    My theory is that your fuel pressure regulator is shot, allowing too much fuel pressure (a common failure mode). They are cheap (~$35 online)-- get yourself some new plugs at the same time-- they are probably really fouled from running rich.

    Let us know what fixes things for you...

      Herb,
      Thanks much for the reply. Previous to getting it I had replaced the fuel pump relay - it was the original. So far the car is working fine, but the weather is warm and dry now and will be so for a few days. I'm going to check the vac line for gas ASAP, and will let you know what I find. Thanks again. It feels good to have willing assistance and knowledge at hand.
      Best,
      Mike Hopkins - sirbog

    hi there,
    i can explaint he logic behind beemer and benz car tpe numbers but i don't know about the volvo numbers..
    For beemer or benz numbers..
    745i menas , it is a 7 series body and has 4.5 liter engine under the hood with injection..
    for beemer numbers after the specifiys the spec.. for example C is coupe, L is usually luxury and long base..and for beemer M3, or M5 those r the special cars which r loaded with luxury and sporty goodies and has an higer out put engine than regular engines.. M3 has 3.0 liter engine,M5 5.0 liters...
    For Mercedes for example C300 midicates that that car has a compact body stryle and 3.0 liters engine.. E usulay stands for injection, SL is sport luxury ect. ect... And don't forget the AMG branch of mercedes.. It indicates that that benz is special in everway..
    Hope this kinda answers ur question , i hope somebody can help with the volvo numbers..
