for a second there i though you meant an E31, i was in the process of google mapping your location to upload to my guided missile launcher, but then i saw it was a volvo...
i'd take a $350 e31 in a heart beat.

I immediately thought Volvo... But I owned one not too long ago.

Awesome deal! Should clean up really nice. The guys on Turbobricks (or any competent Volvo forum) should help you sort that running problem with a quickness.

Nice! I bet youve got a bad or clogged injector or something easy like that. Nice score!

I too was thinking 850, until I read the number of cylinders. Then I was like "doh"

Yeah, I bit on the e31 as well. Even a bit confused when I read 4 out of 5. And I drive Volvos as well. Do a compression test 1st, if thats good go on to ignition/injector. Brickboard.com can be a resource in the FWD/AWD section.

Another E31 bite here! Almost ruined my entire year and gave me another "I know of someone who got a...." story......

I also thought E31, and then was wondering what you were smoking than made you think that a V12 only had 5 cylinders.

LOL sorry guys i didn't even think of that when i typed it out, bad news is the motor is junk 90% sure its bad rings. cyl 4 is running 40 pounds while the others are around 104-108 spec is 110 so looking like a parts car
