Hi Shamil.
You should ask Anjo about this as he is a bit of an expert.
Does your car, i asume that it does , have the computer thingy that sits
just beside the window wiper motor infront of the bulk head.
I think this may also be a part of the ingnition system.
Cheers Mark.

So you have the Renix flywheel fitted and just need to do the wiring?

Hi Mark
there is nothing near the wiper motor
what is that part?

[macplaxton]

Hi Shamil, the picture of the conversion shows a renix and a coil near the wiper motor. You should have all the bits.

Please remind me what model / year is it you are fitting it to again?

Can you post pictures? If not, you can email them to me:

Cheers,
Rich

Hi Shamil.

Cheers Mark.

Are these wiring diagrams any good to you?

***Thread Update to include some correspondence with Shamil that may help others at a later date***

Sorry I was busy. Thank you very much for posting the diagram. The prevous owner had removed the entire Renix unit replaced it with some other ignition system.
Mark sent me the Renix unit (including all the wiring), distributor, plug wires. Now I want to fix it.

My questions are:
a. How do i keep the ignition timing
b. What is the part mention in diagram D9 (Do i need it?)

Thank you for helping me

a) The distributor should fit only one way. It is located by 2 pins, see THIS THREAD. Timing can be checked with a strobe lamp (with the vacuum capsule on the Renix disconnected), but cannot be adjusted. It does not need to be adjusted as the engine position is read by the crankshaft timing sensor. (The flywheel should have a timing pattern on the edge of it). This page might be some help: Volvo Forum Repairs - 300 Renix
b) The part on the second picture (P29) marked D9 and inside box "F" is just the ignition key switch on the steering column. (Note: diagram shows LHD car).

...I would like to know what is the AT vacum control unit?

Any references to AT in the Volvo Green Books refers to Automatic Transmission.

***Now a bit of non-Renix stuff - MY87 onwards B14 fuel cut-off***

Can you please let me know what is that device for (see below) and the wiring diagram?

The device is a special fuel shut-off relay (see also THIS OLD THREAD that has lost its pictures, but pettaw is pretty much bang-on the money) for 87 MY onwards manual transmission (MT) / B14 cars. Volvo Part No: 3209472.
It is fitted to improve fuel economy.

Here's the wiring diagram pics

On older cars without it, the pilot jet stays open all the time the ignition is on. This allows the engine to idle. On cars without it, they will only have ONE blue/red wire to the carburettor idle jet. (Box E on picture 2 (P15)), With the fuel-cut off system, there are TWO wires to the carburettor, ONE to the carburettor idle jet as before, and a SECOND one to the throttle return stop which is black.

Here's a photograph I prepared earlier (just ignore the colour of the wires as it's the wrong carb for the car it was on):

The left one is the electro-pilot jet and the right one is the throttle return stop earth. The carburettor was a Weber 32DIR 109.

A explaination of the fuel cut-off system and its operation is in the Green Book:


Hope this helps.

THANK YOU! MCHUDD & macplaxton

[shamil]

why it is very difficult to start engine in morning (have to crank it 3 to 4 rounds start) is it normal?

[macplaxton]

Could be lots of things.

If the fuel/carburettor is good and the ignition system is good. Is the choke on the carburettor working properly?

choke cable is broken, some times it stars and stops(viberates a little) after starting for the second time have rev it

[macplaxton]

There's your answer then! Replace the choke cable, it'll start no bother 3/4 to full out and can be fairly quickly pushed in again.

[MCHUDD]

Hi Shamil.
Today i extracted the choke cable from the car.
Let me know when you want it in the post.
Cheers Mark.
