Re: Any Clue?? / Check injectors!

["netym89 <delorean@xxxx>" <delorean@xxxx>]

Something else to look for will sound right now as pretty obvious but 
it can happen to anybody. I had trouble starting my car after it 
cranked over once. The car made a little back-fire noise. Now what?
Decided to pull the manual out for emergency checks. After checking 
the cold start connection and reversing it temporarily with the grey 
plug,got the car started really rough but it died a few seconds 
later. Had it towed home and parked it in the garage. Then one night 
I look at the engine and discovered that one of the fuel injectors 
popped out of it place. Gee!! Nah, can't be!! I reseated the injector 
and ,yes, it started up great!! Hint to all: Replace the metal clips 
on the injectors. This will save you a headache down the road, 
literally speaking. They are available from Volvo dealers.
