Sam makes $460 / 23 hrs = $<<460/23=20>>20/hr.

From September to February, Sam made 8hrs x $20/hr = $<<8*20=160>>160.

From March to February, Sam made a total of $460 + $160 = $620.

After fixing his car, he was left with $620 - $340 = $<<620-340=280>>280.

Sam needs another $600 - $280 = $<<600-280=320>>320.

Sam needs to work another $320 / $20/hr = <<320/20=16>>16 hours.

From March to August, Sam made $460 doing 23 hours of yard work. However, from September to February, Sam was only able to work for 8 hours. If Sam is saving up to buy a video game console that costs $600 and has already spent $340 to fix his car, how many more hours does he need to work before he can buy the video game console?
