As a swedish dude i will say thats a STEAL for $500, with that engine and so on. Really good find! Please take time to peel the dip. It looks Really bad.. But anyway! Good find!

Pressure wash the blue paint off of the Volvo.

Bet it's the first time you ever complained about a full tank of gas!

Start moving parts. Put number 1 injector on cyl 2, number 1 coil on number 3. S number one plug in cyl number 4. Follow the misfire

Check the compression on cylinder one. A burnt valve is the symptom you are describing with it having a miss at idle. Compression test will confirm if it has a burnt valve.

Try swapping cylinder 1 and cylinder 4 ignition coil and see if the misfire moves to 4

Yes! I’ve been wanting one of these so I’m glad to see you won one!!!

try the sea foam through the throttle body, if It has been ran a long time on bad gas, may have some build up on the vales and engine internals. Doesn't take much to cause a misfire.

I'm pretty sure the volvo just has a really crappy plastidip job and DipYourCar.com sells a cheap product that you can use to help peel off all of that plastidip relatively easy to bring it back to silver, and then once the car is back to silver it'll sell pretty easily

The B5244T3 is a 2.4 L (2,435 cc) straight-five. Bore is 83 mm (3.3 in) and stroke is 90 mm (3.5 in) with a compression ratio of 9:1. It is turbocharged and intercooled with a power output of 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) at 6000 rpm with 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft) of torque at 1800-5000 rpm.[113] It features exhaust cam VVT.

That Volvo clearly has a misfire.. one of ignition coil pack is arcing. With the engine off.. Remove them one at a time and check for burn marks along the tube or run the car in the dark, and peek under the hood of the car to check for sparks/arcing. A temporarily fix for a bad coil is using black electric tape..

Definitely would look great with the plasti dip peeled off.

compression test cylinder one, check injectors, check spark plug, check ignition coil, check for head gasket leak on cylinder one.

I am very happy about this, i own a V70R! You’ll see the p2 chassis is awesome very comfy and the volvo community is very helpful and friendly. Check your front strut towers they rust out under the metal cover and your strut will go through your hood if they are bad!

i'm an old fart and hv always driven an old car..my trusty 81 vw diesel rabbit blew the engine..too old to twist wrenches..so i was lookin at a to me ''new'' car..studied every vid you made on youtube..twice some three times..you taught me what ECM is and does..all about smog stuff..that i had no clue about..i was able to buy a salvage 03 vw gti turbo frm guy who bought it when first sold as salvage..144k mi wit nu clutch, timing chain,wtr pump, nu reservoirs and hoses, tires, 4.5 yrs on 5yr battery..got it for $1,500..i drive maybe 3K a yr..its a rocket compred to the bi-plane i been drivin for nearly 30yrs..couldn't found such a deal witout what you taught me..THANX!!!!

i had the same problem with my Volvo and it was the coil, easy way to check is swop the coil over with any of the other cylinders and see if the fault code moves to that cylinder then you will have your answer .

Leaky intake manifold gasket at cylinder 1?

Thanks Randy still watching every upload

Sparking to the fuel rail always makes me nervous, dunno why. I've never caused a fire that way, never seen or heard of anyone causing a fire that way, but I still panic at the thought, paranoia I guess.

Love the videos. Also love how quick you get to work on these cars. A lot of other guys are just talking all the time, but you get right into it. Have you done a Miata before? I think that would be a pretty cool build!!

I hated station wagons when I had to drive my dad's Dodge Aspen station wagon way back in the 80's but in the last 10-15 years I've come to appreciate them. I even had a Subaru Outback Wagon for a couple years and loved it. You definitely got a steal on that one

Station wagons are awesome!

A friend of mine used to have two of these wagons. They were great cars. A smidge pricey to service but rock solid.

Use your new vacuum gauge to check.... steady needle ... valves and compression normally means ok .... unsteady needle could be mean internal issues

Check fuse for radio. Unplug radio harness and plug back in. See if your getting power and ground at harness. Sometimes it needs to be unplugged and plugged in when sitting for so long.

Great tools. I want to warn you about putting the metering rods back together. Make sure they are NOT in the top of the carburetor when replacing the top. Put the top back on with out the metering rods in place. After you get the top screwed back on then put the metering rods in. You can bounce it with your finger a few times until it goes into the hole they are on top of little springs so they are springy. Do this easy by gently popping it up and down until it goes into the jet using your index finger. Then put the small dime sized cover back on it and the tiny screw back in place. Some people dont know and put the metering rods in the top and try to mash them into the jets and screw the top on while destroying the metering rods bending them and disfigure them all to hell. I use to know a guy in Wichita whom dad was a corvette fuel injection expert and basic hot rodder that built his own t bucket and worked vintage corvettes back in the seventies. He showed his son and I how to rebuild those Carter AFB carbs (now bought by Edelbroc)and how not to smash the metering rods. And also how to tune the idle lean screws. Changing out the jets is something I never needed to do. Maybe my 67 mustang would been able to run a little better with a slightly bigger jet? I doubt it though it was only a 302 and the carter carb I got off a big old 60s model Pontiac or Oldsmobile that had a bigger engine. We use to go to an old old salvage waay far from Wichita that still had vintage GM cars from the sixties.

I have had this problem on a car i bought. I used fresh gas and Lucas fuel treatment and it cleared up. It may not work for you but worth a try. I have also used 2 bottles of alchohol before and it worked as well. I like the volvo and i feel it would go for $2000. Good luck and cant wait for the next vette video

The fuel rail should have a bleeder valve near the injector rail. If you take out the valve ( it looks like a needle valve in a valve stem) and crank the car over it should push all the gas out of the valve. Use a long piece of rubber fuel line with a clamp hooked up to that valve and run the rubber hose into a large gas can or 5 gallon bucket.

Great car. Those are really reliable cars. It's going to make someone a good car. 180k is nothing on these if they're cared for. REALLY enjoyed it! Thanks so much Randy.

The misfire could be that cylinder one is farthest away from the throttle body mix that with bad gas and the cold weather it just has the hardest time firing and as a result that spark plug maybe in a little worse shape than the rest contributing even more. If you had bought this in the summer you may not have even noticed it. But I think you picked the right one this should be a good flip

Randy. great find! I'm possibly the only fan of Volvos within your fan base. Please put the effort in to peel that plastidip. Thanks for posting.

Great find! Congrats with the Volvo..but only an American will call a Volvo "a little car"... 😂 In Europa these cars are one of the largest you can buy

I think you need a coil for that number one cylinder. Watch the spark in the video again. On another note, the chevy orange you are seeing in places on the corvette was put there by the factory. It was a thing they did on the older ones. you should be able to find it on the front spindles also. So the orange valve covers are a good fit for the spirit of an older corvette!

I'm sure somebody already suggested this but saying it again won't hurt. I would put dry gas in it and I would also put 2 cans of octane booster between that combination it should purify the gas to something burnable

2003 model Volvo wagon looks about the same as the 1985 model looked. They sure didn't change much

I imagine your radio issue is an issue with the amplifier under the passenger seat. Sunroof drains are most likely plugged and has leaked water down into the floor so the amp is likely under water.

Hey Randy, Put Sea foam motor treatment in it and it will help clean it. The cheapest price I found was in Walmart, it's for cars and trucks that are gasoline and diesel. Keep up with the great work !!

Great cars I paid 3200 for mine have had it for 5 years now love it

Hey Randy, it should be able to bring $1500. I would also put some really good fuel system cleaner in the tank, and take it out and drive it for several hours!!

Why run it for hours when you could siphon out the bad gas?

Arc the coil to the fuel rail. Clever! Those 5 cylinder volvos notoriously blow head gaskets.

Anyone else get the off the record ticket lawyer app from the advertisement and installed it because you know you have a problem with speeding 😂

I'd try a MAF sensor cleaning and also swap the coil pack over to cyl 2 and see if it follows.

Clogged injector but only partially... its like a shower head thats spraying erratically then when you give it more pressure it clears.. change number 1 injector or get it cleared should fix ya problem.

Volvo seems pretty good. Might want to try cleaning with the Seafoam or whatever that you spray into the intake as well as putting some in oil and gas to clean the injectors and such. Just have to be prepared for some rough running and smoking after Seafoam. My '07 Mitsubishi Galant, with a 100,000 miles actually threw misfire code, but I just cleared it and it has run fine since. The oil was really black after changing also. Thanks for sharing. As far as the wrap or whatever on the outside, might want to leave it. I was thinking if you pressure washed it, might be more splotchy.

I've had a similar issue before. Turned out to be the spark plug wires leaking spark. Just changed the wires

Switch first and second coil and see if the fault code travels to cilinder no.2. You can do the same with the injector. Good luck

All you need is a pressure washer and fifteen minutes to peel that Smurf. Just get under an edge and blast away. The miss is obviously a dirty nozzle. Dirty nozzles cause a drip at idle. When the pressure goes up they still spray enough fuel to smooth out. Nice pull on the Volvo though.

Put the injector on no.2, the coil on no.3, the sparkplug on no.4. Test-run it and you know where the mistake is.

Love when someone is driving with high beams on :D

Swap plug boot with another cylinder, if the misfire follows the boot then it’s bad. Some models with individual coils you can do the same diagnostic trick.

I think the problem with indicator stalk switching the high beams on when you don't want them is pretty common on those, and pretty much every Volvo of that era. They just weren't as strong as the rest of the car. It's a dead easy fix though, if you get a hair bauble on an elasticated ring, or maybe a small scrunchy, you can just slip it over the stalk and attach it somewhere on the dashboard or steering column cowling so that the elastic is quite tight and it'll hold the switch in the normal, dip beam position and still allow you to operate the high/main beams when you need them. There are plenty of these running around in the UK with this "mod" and it works fine, even for the annual MoT test...

Randy great deal on that volvo.. shout out from dominican republic..

Cool. You got the Volvo. Hopefully the bodypanels under that plastidip are the same color.

How about an “Old Fashion” siphon house and a couple of 5 gal. Cans....let Tim burn that stanky gas in the old Jetta....lol

How does a car in this condition sit around for 3 years without anyone picking up on the fact that it runs and drives, and can be had for only $500 dollars? Amazing.

you might wanna check the distributor, on the older ones the distributor cap went brittle and let moisture in it making it idle shitty (at least on both my 850's) the Radio can be fairly cheap to find, the ones from the P2 S60/V70 will fit (might have a code) very good buy imo, 750$ is a steal for that imo

I like the Launch scan tool, somethings I've noticed on mine ( which is different from yours ) is that mine can print wirelessly - sort of. You can print health reports and the such, but on mine I cannot print directly to the printer. Instead I print, but instead of sending it to the printer I use the print fuction to save as a PDF file, then I open the PDF and print using Adobe, that works for me. Also, on mine, I cannot program a key to a vehicle if all keys are lost. I have to have at least one working key ( on some vehicles I need 2 working keys ). I found that out the hard way when I bought a Charger with no working keys, dealer charged me $397 for a new key. Also, at the main menu, you can hit the "Software Update" button and it can update all the software modules at once so you don't have to update each time you plug into a new vehicle make.

BIG thumbs up from Denmark, and thanks for your allways super good videoes. I have my own car dealer/repair shop and has worked a lot with Volvo, and they are GREAT and SOLID cars that is build to be used, and the cars are normaly easy to repair because Volvo know that nothing lasts forever, and therefor has to be taken apart some day. I realy think that you got the right car, and for a nice price. But PLEEEAAASE remowe that blue plasti dip. It is ugly in that colour, but is a very nice looking car in silver. Here in Denmark the V70 is a very popular car, and is very easy to sell and a car like yours could be sold for around 6.000 dollars if it is in okay condition. My advise to you is to change the spark plugs. Volvo cars can often make start to get misfire if you dont use the correct spark plugs as Volvo recommend. Keep up the GOOD work and maybe someday help me find a car to be shipped to Denmark :-)

Change the coil usually cylinders 1 and 5 goes bad. Also the wires goes bad with the time cracking and damages the wire.

That's the one I was hoping you'd get (or the Caravan). The Caravan would be a good quick flip, peel the plastidip off and the Volvo will be a good sell

I had the same car with the same issue. Check to make sure it has the latest software upgrades. That fixed mine.

I'd say, peal that blue stuff off of the car, it will probably raise the value immediately! Then you can also see how the original paintjob underneath is holding up. And if it's horrible, you can easily dip it again! =P

You'll have fun with that wagon, I had a 97 V-90

I’ve got an XC 70 if there is a misfire engine light should come on and flash. Great cars

When the timing belt was replaced you could have some damage to a valve. Also we won't get significant power in corvette until you address port size in the heads. On the Volvo I hope you are right, bad gas.

put fuel injector cleaner in it. also add some octain boost into the gas as well.

Use that new vacuum gauge to diagnose the Volvo. Great tool that many people forget exists!

That bad gas effects the weakest link (SPARK PLUG) that’ll be the 1rst plug that will go out even when you put fresh gas in it.

Your content is very honest. I hope all the best for you. I really enjoyed watching your content.

Thanks Randy a Swedish truck they're great and our Police use them, the Turbo one for our freeways' in the UK

I want your red truck. For some reason I like it and I’m not big on those body style fords too much. At least the single and extended cabs

Y ou g o t a real good deal, I'm not a fan of Volvo at all, but I have to admit its a good deal, ho p e y o u get it all sorted out, Mike did a great job on the yellow mustang, Liked video,, Them valve covers are sweet

Does it possibly have auto high beams

Looks solid. That car will be a steal for someone

I have a older Launch CRP123 and its really reliable and durable when it is time to get a new one I will definitely look into the one you have.

Put some Archoil 9100 Fuel Additive in the tank and put it through an Italian tune up. That'll clean things up.

GOT A GOOD DEAL AND GLAD THAT THIS CAR WAS A GOOD BUY AND GOOD LOOK WITH YOUR CORVETTE

this value Volvo is what we like to see. things that are good old quality, that are easily flip able and produce profit.

I have no idea if it would help anything but maybe dump a bottle of octane booster or fuel injector cleaner in the Volvo.

Add a bottle of octane booster and a bottle of injector cleaner when you have a full tank of old gas.

Summit racing headers # g9003 fit with 6 1/4 inches of clearance at the lowest point on the collector flange. I had hedman headers on my 1980 that had horrible clearance 2-3 in until I found these, best fit and the cheapest I found. Is there a way for people to contact you with relevant information? I posted this a couple times and the info just gets lost in the comments. I have pictures of the clearance also if that helps

Pressure wash the plasti coat? Pull a fuel line, turn on the ignition and drain the crap fuel? Seafoam and new fuel after?

You must get that blue Smurf look off.. get it back to its silver paint 😊 if you ever come across a T5 Volvo.. they are quick cars 😁 The radio fault. Check for an amplifier under one of the seats.. the 2 are linked and it could have spillage etc in it..

Put some facelift headlights on it peel the the horible wrap off a good clean some regular maintenance and good to go

Thats a good car i have the same 1 i love it throw some octane booster in there and some gum out it'll make it run so much better also add some iso heat to remove the water I had the same problem I got some bad gas

use redline SI-1 fuel addetive in the tank. it helps ALOT and is cheap.

Could be the coil is weak and still sparking but not a full strength spark. Try swapping it with a different coil and see if the misfire moves to that cylinder

Swap the coil to another cylinder to see if the coil is starting to take a crap if the misfire moves to other cylinder you need a coil

What happened with the BMW? passed on it?

17:46 LMAO you got me!

You can remove the plastic dip wit plastic dip desolver if it does not peal off that easily.

"It's driving and riding just amazing!" Of course it does - it's a Volvo!..:)

That scan tool looks like a great tool. Seriously considering to buy one.

That is a damn good deal for $500!!!

Vs burning the bad gas out of the car. Just get a small hand pump or a small electric pump And pump out like a 1/4 to 1/2 of the tank vs running the car all day.

My jetta has the same misfire its been like that since i bought it still havent figured it out i swapped plugs and ignition coil and its still the same

YES, so good you got the volvo, love some good old volvos

The innovate is a must have for working on carburated cars !
