Re: 1990 Volvo 780 block

Aleekat,
Well, I dove in and bought my 1st Volvo, busted block and all. Bought a used motor, pulled the bad one out and dropped the used one in. After numerous cranks, it sputtered to a start. Died if I gave it gas, restarts OK. Finally got it to idle. Had a check engine light. Found out how to check the codes. 123 (Coolant Temp) and 212 (Oxygen Sensor)! Cleared codes, restarted and after it warmed up, still have the 212. $60(universal) to $160 (oem). Any difference in anyones opinion? I have to get it running a little more reliably before counting on it for transportation. Let you know what happens after the sensor.
