Thanks Robert! I was able to change my distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, and all the wires just from watching your video. It made it really easy and the firing order helped me a ton. You rock. The only snag I ran into was when I was putting the new cap on. I was a little too rough on the last bolt and accidentally snapped it. My father in law has experience with those thankfully and he was able to get it out in less than a minute.

Robert, I have a one owner '94 Volvo 850. A recent flood made it temperamental in the rain/damp weather. When running, it sounds like a cylinder that is knocking or not firing. The spark plug wires, rotor and distributor cap are not new, but have been replaced several years ago. It is throwing the following codes: 212 - Oxygen sensor signal(front sensor on 94 and later models); 214 - Ignition RPM signal erratic; 231 - Heated Oxygen sesnor(lean mixture/part throttle) 94-up; 444 - Acceleration sensor signal. On a dry day, the car runs fine. When it is damp (fog, rain) the car will turn over, but will not start or it will run very roughly and then stall. I am thinking about replacing the spark plugs/wires, rotor/cap, O2 sensors, and battery. That bill hits over $500 quickly. What do you think? Rob

Hello, I've just attempted to replace the distributor cap on my 1995 volvo 850. I removed the battery, then the maf, then replaced the distributor cap. After reinstalling the battery the engine immobiliser light came on, and the car refused to start. None of my key remotes will unlock the car or switch off the immobiliser. I suspect it has something to do with the battery removal. Can anyone help?

Where is the oil leak coming from? Find the leak and it will lead you to the part. If it is coming from behind the distributor, it is the rear cam seal. When replacing those, it's best to use OEM Volvo seals. They last a lot longer.

Hey Robert! I have to do a tune up on my 1999 Volvo S70 NA, I’m trying to gather the parts from my local autozone/oreilys and the closest part I come across for a distributor is the duralast for the v70 model, is the still applicable? I don’t want the wrong spark, also when I first start it up, the radio is loud, well sound like where it should be, then quiets down and sometimes while driving/slowing down the volume will spike back up. I’m sure this was a sign to get a tune up. One last thing, I plan on servicing my thermostat because by temperature is always about 60-75% up on the meter, not at start of course, but should I also change my radiator if this is the case? THANK YOU haha, with all this help I can make my Volvo new again
