What is the firing order for an 85 Volvo 240 DL? I believe my timing is off but need to know the firing order to make sure everything is correct.

To start engine needs air, compression, ignition, fuel.

Start checking the various areas.

1432 clockwise
bring number one piston to top dead center and look at rotor- start number one wire in that spot-
if engine doesn't start and sounds funny
then you are 180% out---- bring up # one piston again and look at rotor this time it should point oppsite of where it was- redo plug wires- engine should start

you probably have weak spark or it is flooding due to too high fuel pressure. is the timing good the firing order correct has the cam belt timing slipped, missing teeth. is the cold start injector open all the time.

D24 and D24T diesel enginesEngine Firing Order: 1-5-3-6-2-4

use c type clamps compress slowly clean caliper first

I believe the one under your dash should be just a simple fuse

It has happened to me that, when ordering parts, i was given .025 oversized bearings after ordering standards. take it back apart, and double check the bearing marks. if they are what you ordered, use some micrometers or plastigage, and get the correct set.

Fuel pump relay,controls the power to the system,its an small wt box mounted under dash on P/S foot well.

This is the best picture avail on the internet, this aspect is as you are standing in front of the car.

No, you are fine. it wont damage the valves.
