Hi Jef,

Did you service the EGR piping, check the vacuum, check the little vacuum solenoid where you have the white cap and the foam underneath that Phil Machine Man suggest removing the foam with some sort of fiver material that works in underhood conditions?

Did you take apart the EGR piping and inspect for clogging. Mine was clogged on my 1991 in 2000 when I bought it a bit. Cleaned it all out, moved to Mobil 1 10W40 oil, not clogged again.

So, all is well, I hope. In that you do not have a socket 6 (ignition) fault code 2-4-1?

Hope so. Hope all's clear! Happy Friday!

I'd not ever researched whether EGR equipped autos produce drastically lower NOx versus the same config non-EGR auto model counter parts. When last checked, the 1992 LH-3.1 240 GL produced as clean an exhaust as the 1991 and 1990. Makes me proud with some simple stage 0 tune-ups on both sides of the engine control makes a Volvo 240 get some good and 'clean' exhaust with good fuel economy.

I also drive with light pressure, usually, on the gas pedal. May make for slow starts at the green light, and like Uncle Old Duke states, you'll get peer motorists sometimes giving you some manner of disapproval.

Hopes to have a technical writer / illustrator job and new pad with garage. The 240 service work can recommence 7 years on.

Please lettuce know.
