Have you try changing out the air mass meter? It could be dead. The air mass meter is a black Bosch unit that sits by the air filter. Disconnect it and if its doesn't get better. The it has to be replaced.

had that problem once a coin went into the shifter and shifter would not sit properly in park position .car would not start.

Sounds like a fuel pump issue. Any more details? Does it turn over? If you elevate the back, does it start sometimes? It might be the fuel pump. When was the last time you had it replaced? They last between 70-120k miles (my experience), so depending on the last time it was replaced, it might be time for a new one. They are relatively cheap ($100-$130) if you do it yourself, but it may cost you anywhere from $300-$1000 to have it done. There is an access panel under the trunk liner that gives you access to the pump and floater, so if anyone tries to tell you that you need to replace the whole tank for $1200 (this actually happened to me once), just say "Thanks" and go somewhere else. Check for other options on the pump itself, when I asked Pep Boys, they gave me a $300 one, and I said I'd get back to them. Later I found that this Bosch that was only $130 fit was exactly what I needed.

I had the same problem and fixed it with only one nut to remove and one easy plug in part the Crankshaft Position Sensor is located between the firewall and the engine on the bell housing which connects the engine to the driveshaft Right on the top shine a light down in there and remove the nut to the left of the sensor sticking up and unplug it check the wires to see if they are rotted mine were all rotted and touching eachother went and bought the part at autozone for $55 plugged it in and it now works perfectly! hope this helps

When the engine warms up engine management sensor warms up and the resistant builds up,signals dont reach the ECM,out all that was replaced what about the cranksensor?that is a popular failure when warm

Lots of questions, maybe I can answer one or two. The hose is for air, if I remember correctly. Mine got disconnected (actually people kept leaving it disconnected whenever they changed my oil), and then the last time, they broke the end of it, so it doesn't really fit on anymore. Its not so important, so don't be too worried about it, but you should keep it connected while driving.The best solution I have seen is by peeling up the wrinkled area and just gluing it down straight with a strong fast bonding adhesive.Burns in the backseat, what do you expect to do with it? Its probably not worth fixing, or it will require some new upholstery. I have no idea about that Simoniz stuff.

Welcome to the club :). This is a common issue. A lot of people thought it was just the pressure valve under the hood, but they have had limited success. If I figure it out, I'll let you know, and if you do, be sure to let me know. Thanks.

You don't need to drop the fuel tank in a 1995 940. There is an access panel in the trunk. Under the trunk liner there is a panel to the left of the backseat access. Unscrew the 4 screws there and you should see a screw-top cover. Remove it and you will have access to the fuel pump and floater.
