I know this is Mercedes Shop, but a lot of you seem to either own or have owned Volvos. My question is pertaining to a 1985 740 Turbo. It has stick shift and starting about 2 months ago the engine seems to bog down while turning. It doesn't matter what gear I am in, but if I am accelerating though a turn, the engine violently stalls, and then smooths out as soon as the wheel is straight. What could be causing this problem? The exhaust did break a month ago, and was poorly fixed by us, but it had been doing this before hand. Do you think this may be something wrong w/ the fuel system? Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try this place, I just got finished putting in a transmission in a friend of mines P1800. I had never touched a Volvo before and they helped me many times when I called them. Very knowledgable people.

Here is a great resource:

Sounds like the prepump is bad or the hose from the prepump to the discharge is bad. One that old has those problems. Also, check the engine wiring harness for bad insulation. Look at the ground points on the intake manifold.

Resolder the fuel pump relay, white relay under the radio, middle row, left hand side.

The FAQ will shock and awe you with the knowledge there. I recently printed it all out so I can out it in a binder.

Regards
