740 B230 E coughs and fuel guage goes up
Weird situation for a newbie on this forum.
I have a 1989 Volvo 740 with a B230E engine, just had head gasket done about 4 months ago. My problem is that its a bit hard to start in a morning , funny bit is that when pressing the throttle it coughs at about 900rpm and the fuel guage goes up. Once its up about 1200/1300rpm its fine. |

Hi,
Check Here: OBD? You'll hopefully have a diagnostic box on the suspension turret on the drivers side. Des. . .

there are no diagnostics on a b230e,another thought it could still be a headgasket/head problem,if left for a while after run coolant could get in to a cylinder and cause a misfire until the coolant has burnt away,is it using coolant ?

No code box so no codes. Just found a snapped earth coming from the bulk head, but cant find where it should link to. There are 2 earth leads, one is short and straps the the top of the engine at the rear, the other is long and seems to go down the rear on the passenger side of the engine. Any ideas anyone ?
