Thanks Lee I'll get some fresh gas and verify my plug wiring colors using a previous post of yours.

What makes the starter stop and then restart while you hold the key over and the engine is not starting?

Plug wires were the problem with starting, still running rough with no low power and rough ...

My car has been in my garage for over a year and I finally tended to it this week replacing all the main vacuum lines, cleaning the etm throttle opening, replacing the pcv canister, and tidying up some of the rotted wire covers. Put everything back together and it wont start, turns over until it ...

Just curious - did you consider cutting through the floor to replace the fuel pump?

I bought the affordable ones from FCP as well and have never had a tougher challenge on my S70. I've been able to get them on using extreme force, assembly grease, and a small flathead screwdriver to pry open and over the edge of the hose. It looks like there is no way they will fit, but they've all ...

Went ahead and assumed the pump noise was not a good noise and the most likely reason for a complete loss of pressure at speed, therefore, I bought the entire fuel pump assmbly from FCP for about $340 after discounts and shipping. Installed the new unit and started up after a few seconds! I opted ...

I guess I'll go ahead and replace the pump since that seems to be a normal risk ...

So, on one of the hottest Saturdays of the year, I have my 2000 V70 XC loaded for the annual trip to Florida - car topper, hitch-mount bike rack, 3 kids, 1 baby and wife. Then, in the worst possible place between Atlanta and St. Augustine - Vienna, GA - while cruising at 70 mph, the engine sputters ...

SnookWhaler is exactly right, mine had about and 8" piece of mast broken off and stuck in the mast housing. No amount of shaking was going to dislodge a section that big(can't image ever shaking a piece out given the housing configuration).

Simple to fix: after removing assembly from car, just ...

Sorry to hear about your car and woman. Believe it or not my wife just had the exact same thing happen, water completely drained while driving and then the engine melted down beyond repair.

Be warned anyone out there with a 2000 V70XC, inspect those hoses and water pump before it blows!
