Thanks for that. I wound up taking it to "Volvos by Morgans" in Santa Rosa on the recommendation of a friend. Will give Calvary a try if they can't fix it. I got a super good vibe from Morgans though, bunch of purdy old volvos in what looks like a pop & son type shop. On a sidenote the...

The evap system in my 1998 S70 GLT keeps throwing check engine light and I'm giving up on my lazy attempts to try to fix it. I don't imagine anyone has a recommendation for a Volvo mechanic in the Santa Rosa / Sebastopol / Petaluma / etc / area? Will travel a bit farther for the right one. Also have...

I somehow managed to smash the rear dash window of my 1998 S70 GLT yesterday. Was a great way to start the day. Any recommendations on where to get a replacement? Is this a job for Pick n Pull? Mine had tinting and I think heating, but I don't really need either. Don't mind if they're there though, ...

Ok this is weird. I figured out how to get the SAS test to run, just start the car cold and let it idle for like 10 minutes. But even though I'm never letting the tank get below full (never more than 1.5 gallons from full), the evap test keeps running and throwing the CEL. It shows up as a pending f...

Aha, disregard, the SAS test just passed! It is showing a pending fault though, I wonder when that will go through? I hope it holds off until I can get to the smog place tomorrow.

And should it be showing a pending fault if I did the SAS diode mod? Makes me wonder if I did it correctly.

I’ve kept Evap monitor not ready for 1000 miles or more with tank over 3/4 full I've now driven 200 miles and indeed the Evap monitor is still "not ready". Unfortunately so is my SAS test... Can you confirm that you were able to get the SAS test to run even with a full tank of fuel? And I...

Ive been battling my evap system for a good couple months at this point, every time I think I finally have it I get the dreaded "pending fault gross leak". I'm really late on registration so trying to do whatever I can to get through smog check. Does anyone know: - how to get the SAS test ...

Thanks for that. I have a diode on the way just in case I don't pass the SAS. I'm hoping that code getting thrown was a fluke. I hotwired the SAS pump and it's working fine, so hopefully it won't come to drastic measures, but it's sure nice to have the option.

It's been a marathon few days working on my car. Replaced by O2 sensors and then quickly passed the O2 Sensor test, now the only tests that haven't finished are the Evap Sys and Secondary Air Sys. Does anyone know if the Secondary Air Sys test will complete when there's a full tank of gas? I'm tryin...

Thanks. And I'm curious, does running the AC stop the oxs and cat tests too, or just the evap? Or am I wrong about it stopping any test at all?
