Seller’s Description
Selling my 340HP Sport WagonPlease Read!!
As much as I love it, driving it has become too much for me, and I’d like it to go to someone who has more time to work on it and care for it.
It has a few issues, which is why I’m selling this for a low price.
-It has a boost misfire when it builds over 8lb of boost, but its avoidable if you dont give it full throttle
-The fuel gauge doesn’t currently work because the previous owner didnt plug the fuel pump sensor back in when he replaced it
-The power steering pump is on its way out
-It has rust in a few spots around the rear fenders
-It has a newer engine out of an Auto S60R, and a recently rebuilt transNothing that cant be fixed, message me to set up a day to come look at the car. Will take you for a ride if wanted

Misfire sounds like maybe an ECU problem where it isn’t reading the knock sensors and learning the proper spark advance. Isn’t this the era of Volvo ECUs that are married to a specific car? I’d want to consult with a Volvo tuning shop before buying this.
I gave away a Volvo s40 that had some problem that messed up the ECU, but was undiagnosable without replacing the ECU, which might get killed by the undiagnosed problem. Oh, and the Volvo dealer wouldn’t sell me an ECU so I would have to send my ECU to some shop who could clone it. Maybe.
