Re: 1998 V70R PO172 Fine under idle, dies under load
I don't believe that plug wires are the issue because I replaced them with bougicord wires about a year ago. I looked at the intercooler hoses and couldn't find any issues with them. I will take another look though. Also I just pulled the plugs and the outside two were fouled with carbon from runnin...

1998 V70R PO172 Fine under idle, dies under load
So my car has been acting really funny. I pulled a po172 code recently and have been having issues with the driveability of the car. Whenever I try to give it almost any throttle under load the car wants to die on me. I have replaced the front o2 sensor and checked the cat. I also have cleaned the M...

1998 V70R Intermitent Power Steering Squeel
I have been having a problem lately with the power steering squealing and occasionally getting bubbles in the reservoir. The problem sometimes just goes away and comes back at random. There is a small leak in the system that I have maintained, but refilling the fluid doesn't seem to have an apprecia...

Re: Car dies and rev unusually with surges
This weekend I cleaned out the throttle body and the MAF with some carb cleaner, but on the way to school my car did the same surging motion. Some other things I found out were that even when I was doing 50mph the car surged (or rather started to die). The car also has to warm up first for this to h...

Re: Car dies and rev unusually with surges
The car will come back to life if you rev it to keep it from dying. I know the 1999+ s70s and such had problems but this is basically a 850 car with a newer body.
Thanks
Thanks

Car dies and rev unusually with surges
For the third time today I was driving my 1998 S70 N/A and as I was slowing down/at a stop the car would surge between 0-1500 rpm (or thereabout). And today the car actually died during these surges. I also just fixed a vacuum leak so that shouldnt be the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks
