http://www.brickboard.com is one of my favorite Volvo message boards. Have gleaned much useful info (aux air valve, setting idle speed manually, adjusting fuel mixture, etc). Not everyone views DMC's add-ons as improvements... That said, the 1989 Volvo 760 I popped a hood on last weekend had both an idle speed motor and a huge Lamda type device (horrors!). Haven't seen those on early 80's models. Did somebody migrate from Dunmurry to Sweden?

As mentioned earlier, when in doubt, replace them! Yahoo!
