pumped gas and it overfilled with only 1/2 tank of fuel.

Or smack the bottom of the tank with a 2x4 a couple times. That trick works to unstick fuel pumps sometimes.

How much did you put into the tank before it started overflowing? And the week before - different than normal?

Re: sport/econ and winter modes

That's normal. It keeps it from kicking down harshly when you hit 20 mph into first gear like 'E' mode does.

The gear ratios on this car are pretty useless for engine braking at most speeds I actually drive at.

Re: Vacuum when I take off the oil cap

Vacuum is good! That means the PCV system isn't clogged up.

Re: DIY: 1998 Volvo S70 GLT PCV Mod: no more smoking dipstic

So you'd done the typical PCV repair and it ended up still smoking? If so, good to know this solves that!

Re: How many miles did you drive your P80 over Thanksgiving?

15 :D It was home for the holidays, and I drove it around some. But it made a 150 mile trip both ways without blowing up this time! It was the Jeep's turn for that, apparently. We now have a lot of blue cars... http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m214/bblackbr/E92A14BC-FC7C-41A8-857B-A951D94679B2_zps...
