1990 940 Turbo. I just did the head gasket.
UPDATE: Fixed It! I found a loose hose clamp at the throttle body.
I can usually get the car to start after excessive cranking and I even drove it for 20 miles but it just would fall on its face when I got into boost realm.
Stalls at stops and misfires a bit at idle and won't really stay running on its own.
I'm gonna give it the full shakedown but this is just a side job in somebody's driveway far from home or the shop so my resources and patience are limited. Especially after working all day and messing with this thing Iin the dark on the drive home.
-Starts and runs but you can't really drive it
-stalls and sometimes won't even restart.
-when it is drive able it won't boost
-misfires at idle and stalls after a bit
-compression is all above 130-150 or so on all 4.
-no codes yet
-runs worse with maf unplugged
-no change with temp sensor unplugged
-doing a cylinder drop test it usually stalls and Def drives worse with a cylinder disabled. Doesn't matter which.
I don't have all the answers guys. I cam probably get it sorted out with time but just seeing what kinda ideas you guys throw at me as far as where/how to diag.
