View Full Version : Please help, Volvo 850 keeps cutting out , no
spark at coil but low tension power is still there, ........... It has had fitted crank sensor, camshaft position sensor, coil pack and both ECU`s. This fault has stumped some of the best Mechanics in our region (NE England)...... so where are the best Mechanics in the world?

Fault in the standard anti theft protection? I know in the later models v70 the car will start but cut out after 5sec or so, im not sure if the 850 does this though. Its just a thought.

if low tension power is at coil check w test lamp if ground signal is working {test lamp should flash when engine spins over] if it only flashes a few seconds then quits repete test 2 more times it should no longer flash at all; replace the antenna coil for the antitheft system [located at top of lock cylinder , under column cover, it snaps into place] remember to completly lock the car to reset system and make sure to use an original key, note if ecu's replaced car will have to visit dealer for antitheft initialization proceedure.
