Hydraulic tappets in many car makers' engines were dropped for solid tappets. Hydraulic tappets were giving misfire codes in engines using them as direct activating bucket tappets as on the Volvos. The exhaust valve can heat and the stem will grow in length before the tappet can lose oil to contract...

What was the verdict on your problem with the throttle plat being sticky?. Having same problem with mine. Based on the year of your car, 2001, you have the Magneti Marelli ETM and years ago I saved some photos of a problem not associated with the well-known position sensor problems. This problem wa...

Here is CEM parameters from DHA

A few pages back there were some pictures of different L-shaped CEMs. The ones with extra components could be used as replacement for those without, but not the other way around. Software must also match. For an engine swap, the CEM is not the main problem. Your engine controller has to stream the c...

Yes. The problem is they can't ask each other how to communicate. They must already know. There are no master list in the car. Volvo knows centrally and can produce matching configuration files for all controllers. These will also contain information about what relevant information can be received f...

Looks like the Denso has its own way of storing CAN IDs in the signal configuration.

Stored - CAN-ID
401E 020A - 0042 401E
401E 030A - 0062 401E

0002 0A08 - 0140 0002

0006 1408 - 0280 0006
