Volvo's & my Scrapheap Challenge



Hi all,

I have isolated the injector that is causing my misfire problems and 
decided to head to the local scrap yard in search of old Volvos with 
the same engine. 

They had six Volvo's, the oldist of which were 3 'D' reg. vehicles, 
with mechanical fuel injection and 3 others of various ages with EFI.

Only problem was that none of them had V6 engines, most had straight 
6's. Anyway I popped the injector out of one of them and it looked 
similar but I wasn't sure as I had forgotten to bring my original to 
compare it too and didn't have the part # to hand. (it was a last 
minute decision after finishing work on Saturday afternoon!)

Having returned home I popped one out of my car and thinking about it 
having seen my original I reckon that they are exactly the same. 

Is this likely?, the engine is not a V6 so is it likely that they are 
completely different and just look the same. I know the ultimate 
answer it to write down the part # and head back to the scrap yard.

Just be interested if anyone thinks that they could be the same or if 
I am on a wild goose chase.

Thanks

James RG
