Have you tried a compression test and a leak down test? Hello! Thank you for a hint! No, unfortunately, I haven't tried those. I could have rented the compression test kit and test it. But, as for the leak down test, I don't have a compressor to feed the test tool. New information I've been testing...

Hello! I don't feel comfortable pulling electrical connectors on a running car. But I tried starting the car with and without MAF connector plugged in. NEW DATA 1) Started the car a few times with and without MAF connector plugged in. It seems it is irrelevant. It still randomly switches to struggli...

You don’t get good data during cranking , there are too many things fluctuating both mechanical and electrical. You can try a junkyard MAF ( Bosch for your turbo) but I doubt that is it. Hello! Thank you for the advice! The data on the picture has been captured when the car was idling. The jump in ...

Hello! I tried using a different fuel pump relay as recommended. But, unfortunately, that didn't seem to help much. Also I've triple checked the throttle module, pulled the socket back-forth a few times, and tried turning the plate by hand while observing the throttle position sensor: default positi...

Hello! Thank you for the support! I appreciate it a lot! Did you ever change the fuel pump relay? My buddy was getting random stalls and loss of power and it threw an ETM light. He has replaced the ETM twice now with junkyard units, but it returned again. This time he swapped the relay and the car h...

Just for clarity, when you said you replaced the throttle position sensor (as in one) was that what you meant or do you mean you replaced the pair (one either side)? Sensor #1 and Sensor #2 Neil. Hello! I purchased a contactless sensor kit, I guess it is a Hall sensor-based one. The kit instruction...

99- is a higher pressure. I'd be looking for at least 50 psi running at the rail. Up to and including 98 (first year V/C/S70) is static around 43 psi and may drop when running. The main thing that when your car is running it stays even. If it is fluctuating there is likely a pump issue. Neil. Hello...

Have you checked the fuel pressure at the injector rail? When you turn the ignition to Pos II, do you hear the fuel pump priming? Hello! Thanks for the hint! Yes, I can hear the fuel pump priming when listening right next to the fuel tank. Thank you for the advice regarding the fuel rail pressure! ...

Hello! The car is 1999 S70 GLT. Starting today morning it experiences the following symptoms. 0) Check engine light is off. There are no trouble codes I can read. 1) It is needed to crank the engine for considerable time to make it start. May be it is about 3-4 seconds. 2) RPM is unstable, pulsating...

Ok, I've finally received the parts. Everything fits perfectly. Air duct bolts are 985743, air duct washers are 986500, and front engine mount "flange screw" bolt is 982819. I've decided to not order plastic nuts for wheel well liners. They are a little bit too expensive for a non-critical...
