car wont start,could be for 2 reasons i think
1)my exhaust is now only 2 feet long
2)i left the bonnet open and the heavens opened

now it will JUST about get going,but....the moment i apply throttle it dies,so i thought Air Flow Meter (this is a volvo 740 turbo motor btw) and i put wd40 on it.then watched the flap and moved it a bit and the idle cleared up,now,if i move the flap slightly ahead of where it naturally is as i move the throttle the engine works fine!so the AFM needs to be moving ahead of where it actually is!any ideas?i cant drive AND keep both hands under bonnet!!!

 

throttle position sensor?

 

good thinking,ill have to check where it is!

 

rain got on the ht system? dizzy cap inside wet?

 

its because its filthy and full of junk, its sulking as you dont look after it right
