The Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) on a Volvo 740 is typically located on the throttle body, which is situated on the intake manifold. It may be mounted on the side or top of the throttle body, depending on the specific engine model and year. To access it, you might need to remove any air intake hoses or components that obstruct the view. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise location and instructions.
It is below the throttle body, mounted in a rubber bracket. Follow the 3/4 inch hose from the air filter box. it goes to IAC valve.
check airflow meter
To test the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve on a 1990 Volvo 740, first ensure the engine is off and disconnect the electrical connector from the IAC valve. Use a multimeter to check the resistance across the terminals; it should fall within the manufacturer's specified range. Next, apply 12 volts directly to the valve to see if it moves; it should open and close smoothly without sticking. If the valve does not respond correctly, it may need cleaning or replacement.

To adjust the idle setting on a Volvo 740 estate wagon, first, ensure the engine is warmed up to operating temperature. Locate the idle adjustment screw, which is typically found on the throttle body. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, making small adjustments and checking the idle speed with a tachometer. Finally, ensure that the adjustment is within the manufacturer's specified range for optimal performance.
To adjust the idle speed on a 1991 Volvo 740, locate the idle adjustment screw on the throttle body. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Use a tachometer to measure the idle speed, then turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it, ensuring it stays within the recommended range of 750-900 RPM. Finally, recheck the idle speed to confirm the adjustment and ensure the engine is running smoothly.
If you have done a compression check the next step is to take off valve cover and look.
You probably mean Overdrive solenoid, on the transmission left side Hope it's help
Did you ever get an answers to this question? I have a 1990 740 GL with the same problem?ThanksEngine Coolant Temp. sensor ECT (#1346030), sensor for the ECU, not the sensor for the temp gage, I recommend BOSCHLook under the intake close cylinder #3
i have a 1989 740 and mine is located on under the hood it the green 1 on the side next to the air filter
