Also absolutely no point whatsoever reading codes, they'll be nonsense. You need to sort the charging problem before you can go any further. Once that is sorted, pull fuse #1 for at least 30 seconds and replace it. Then take it for a drive and read the codes again. No point faffing about with fuel pressures until you have the electrics right. You'll probaly find it runs fine with a decent alternator.

In fact, looking up the 2.3 non-turbo 940 for 1990-94 reveals there are no less than 7 different alternators fitted! They vary from 55A to 100A so there's plenty of room for error! It's fine (and often desirable) to go up on the output but going lower can often cause problems, especially if your runs are mainly short ones or you do a lot of town driving.

It may be worth going up on the amps then as there are a few bits and bobs in the car electronics wise and I don't know what I may put in later on so better to be safe than sorry. |

The breakers up the road from me has one off a diesel 960, provided it fits dimension wise and has a higher or equal amperage will it work okay?

Yes but ignore the "W" connection on it, that's only for the rev counter in a diesel as they don't have an ignition coil. If possible take your old alternator with you for positive comparison on the brackets etc.
