looking for a thread on another board about a yellow R that the owner (doug maybe?) had really done some great work on. does it ring a bell to anyone?

i know volvo used this tranny up through 99 or 00. are they all interchangeable? mechanically identical? can i put a 2000 into my 95 855? i thought there was something different with the rpm sensor? please elaborate as you are able

ok, dropped rebuild in and tried to start. no go. got fuel, battery/alternator good, new cap/wires/rotor/plugs. no spark from the coil. new coil/ignition module. pulled a P0120 for throttle pos sensor. replaced it and cleared the code, still no spark. swapped cam sensor with known good one, nothing. rpm sensor is moderately new. what am i overlooking? could we formulate a comprehensive list of situations that cause ecu to pull spark? tried 2 ecu's as well, by the way. anyone in the columbus ohio area want to swing by?

no spark. 2 diff ecu's, no spark. no spark at coil. no signal to ignition mod. checked continuity from module back to ecu, continuity good. what would make ecu pull spark? bad cam sensor? how do i diagnose cam sensor? any other possibilities? thanks all

i cant seem to get my waterpump to quit funking leaking. paper gasket, seepy seepy. put some rtv on the gasket and seemed good but, no, just a slower seepy seepy. thinking of trying the "right stuff" instant gasket. anyone else had a similar problem?
