Sign In 1986 Volvo 240 Stationwagon not sure >203,000 My volvo stationwagon has been running smoothly until recently when a burning like smell came from somewhere under the hood while driving. Also, when accelerating at a stop sign or light, you can hear the engine rev up, but the car doesn''t move right away. This also occurs when i give it gas while in motion. It feels like i am switching gears in a manual car, but it is an automatic. Idea's, suggestion's??? thank you!

Sign In Plenty for age and miles so a first guess is something to do with PCV system which can cause erratic idle, vacuum loss or erratic and oils getting on hot exhaust making for odor. Essentially I'd check for vacuum leaks and go from there with what found, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 15, 2009, 10:45 PM Post #3 of 3 (2576 views) Re: 1986 Volvo with some problems! Sign In Sounds to me like you got a massiive trans fluid leak somewhere annd ran out of fluid. Check your trans fluid level and if it's low, find out where the leak is. It may be just one of the cooler lines going up to the radiator. The smell may indicate that it's leaking on to the exhaust pipe somewhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
