Hi, all. I have a '91 940se turbo estate with 178k on her, which over the last 8 years has been an absolutely wonderful car. Doesn't owe me a penny, the only real expense being a replacement head 18 months ago. About 6 months ago it started cutting out while driving, for no obvious reason. Then 3 months ago it would not start. I also have a very low mileage (48k) '95 940 wentworth turbo estate, and as most of the engine components are the same decided to transpose those from the '91 to the '95 in a process of elimination. So far I have tried ignition amp, ecu, petrol pumps, crank sensor, all function perfectly in the '95. I have tried checking relays but they don't appear to be the same, so gave up on them. The only source of info available is the usual haynes manual which of course is absolutely less than useless. The ODB on the '91 doesn't work iether. Although I suspect an electrical fault, the car previously had been driving perfectly, I have always been religious in maintaining it mechanicaly even if cosmeticaly it is not brilliant. I am not sure where else to look, or whether it's even worth bothering. Maybe I should scrap it! I was hopeing someone on here may have had the same problem and found an answer, or might give me a guide as to analising the fault and thereby a solution. Any input at this juncture would be extremely appreciated. I have decided on a finite time limit, my wife is moaning, in which to sought the issue or scrap it. The old girl has 1 months extension (that's the car, not the wife of course). Thanks, Dave.
