I drive a volvo 850 glt 96 version and its starting to show all of these symptoms most recently the sluggish behavior when I'm hitting the pedal on the highway. Very informative but I'm still confused about one thing. It seems that you're suggesting that I just replace the MAF sensor and keep drivin...

I've got oil all over the underside of the car. I switched back to old fashioned 10-40 and am hoping that the leaks will reseal the...

I too was lucky enough to get a 96 850 GLT with low miles (77,000) in NY.

I replaced my module in less than 1 hour. I'm not a mechanic. Problem solved. ABS and traks working fine. I just tried to skid on my mountain...
