Hey, volvo people,
Found a 1989 silver 4door, 740 turbo, intercooler in a junk yard today, 400 bucks.

According to the yard guy it will start but only when you spray something (starter fluid?) in the intake? He also said it was in some water, up to the Hubcaps, that's the reason for the trip to the junkyard.

Any thoughts on this car, what could be the reason for the no-start. I'm 100% when it come to working on my 244 (b230f non-ic/turbo) so I'm sure a 740 is a close mech. job

Also does anyone know if 5 spoke 740 rims will fit my 1990 244?

My guess: Fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel regulator, fuel regulator relay... basically, anything that starts with the word "fuel". Seriously though, look hard at all of the above.

The drive train is basically the same as your 244T.

The wheels from a 740 will fit a 240, but the turbo wheels from a 240 will not clear the front calipers on the 740 turbo.

if you're 100% w/ 240s, why don't you just give me 400 for mine? its the same thing; will run if i spray fluid in the intake.
