Hilton Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I can't read any of that.The wire in question has a yellow stripe on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Lee Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 What are the wire colors going to the connectors? Knock sensors perhaps? Maybe they are just dykes and have no male partners....Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkydog Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 You read the wire color first then the stripe color, like a black wire with a white stripe, a red wire with a blue stripe etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikv11 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 do you remember hooking up the knock sensors? I thought the same thing right when I saw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70 140 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I can't tell if you have a evap canister purge valve or not? As already mentioned, the connector closest to the fan housing looks like the canister purge valve connection.The second wire in qustion does not look long enough to reach to where the knock sensors are.

monkeybird02 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Iiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee :blink: What color are the wires????? There will be no more guessing, then. Pull back that corrugated wire jacket, wipe the wires clean with some sort of cleaning stuff, then post what colors you find right here. On this forum. Then one of us will consult some of our many sources of useless Volvo knowledge and tell you EXACTLY what those plugs are for. We'll even make sure its translated out of the Mother Polish for ya. Or we could all keep guessing what they are. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As already mentioned, the connector closest to the fan housing looks like the canister purge valve connection.The second wire in qustion does not look long enough to reach to where the knock sensors are.The connector for the knock sensor should be cliped to the wiring harness plastic channel just to the left of the point where the battery cable exits the harness to connect to the starter. It also has 3 pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 These are the colors of the wires on the two female connectors mentioned. Red w/ black stripeBlueGray with black stripeBlue with brown stripeThe car isn't getting spark. I checked it at the coil.The camshaft position sensor plug is damaged. I've seen similar sensors on other cars prevent the coil from sparking.I'm going to order a camshaft position sensor, and hopefully someone will know where the female ends are supposed to connect.Thanks again.

sparkydog Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 The first one should be the crank sensor (red w.black) the second should be the tcv (gray w.black). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal3thousand Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Funny thing, he said he the TCV already hooked up... wonder what that was going to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Not only that, but the crank position sensor is also connected to something. I'll report back with more wire color combinations tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
