You guys are great! 140-160

Thanks for the fuel injector support. I had 20 injectors cleaned at Cruzin Performance! What a great deal, he only charged me for my original 6 which no longer matched flow rates. I now have closely spaced, but not perfect injectors, that have good spray patterns and turn off and on.
Thanks!!!!!

HISTORY:
I cleaned the throttle position sensor and that works now. It started very rough this morning, the first time since August 1. But it idled! So I took it around the block twice in 1st and 2nd gear. Because of all of the gasoline washing the cylinders, I thought that a little clean oil beeing pumped around would help. Still, no compression. Any application of throttle while in gear will bog down the engine, unless it is down hill. Going over 3,000 is a no-no.

PROBLEM:
I took off the oil filler cap to see if there was any pressure build up and make sure oil was coating the camshaft. Every thing looked OK, until I noticed that the first rocker arm was not moving!!! No valve spring! I turned off the engine and got my trouble light and there was half of the collet laying in the bottom. The spring was jammed up against the front of the valve cover. I didn't see a washer.
Is this a fairly easy fix? I do not have a valve spring compressor and where do I find a collet. Do I have to remove the cam shaft? Or should old thumbs here just bring it to a real mechanic?
All advice is good advice. I just want to get this car running again so that it is sellable. Too many Volvos with too many problems.

Thanks,
Klaus
