by no means am i a mechanic nor have the slightest idea regarding car issues but i did and currently do have a similar issue and thought i could share my experience with you with the hopes it'll help. the first time i had problems with my RPM gauge fluctuating was about a year ago. i could have swor...

For all you engine saavy people out there.....

Is there anything that would cause my PCV (vent box) to be leaking oil and need to be replaced even though I just had that done 11 mth ago along with new CAM seals and timing belt?!
Thanks and Confused

I too have had terrible luck with my 2001 S60. I have areas where the paint has completely come off in sections on the roof and beginning to fade on the trunk lid. I've been told that Volvo's are horrible cars to have in FL as they don't handle the heat so well (wish I'd known that prior to purchase...

One thing you might want to check, once you check the cables and ground, is for a parasitic current draw (quite a large one in your case), unless the alternator isn't charging

Turns out it was the alternator even though previous testing stated otherwise. Could that really be it?

I put in a brand new battery and the day of installation, drove it not even 20 miles before the "Low Battery Voltage" warning came on! I guess the next step is what JaBlackBurn suggested: check the cables and ground and then start pulling fuses looking for a parasitic draw. I just can't be...

Hi...it's me again, Sharon. I just returned from the dealership with bad news. What I thought was my ETM ended up being something completely different and is going to cost me about $2,000 and after I've just spent $1,300 on a new suspension system! (Yes, I did have a little cry about the lemon I hav...

I too have had my engine cut off but not when turning corners. For me, it's when I'm sitting at a stoplight or in idle for awhile. I've noticed that the idle speed will fluctuate, then the vibrations start, and the engine will die. This will definately happen if the a/c is on but has also happened w...

Well, I'm new to this website but I've learned sooo much already. One of the things I'm wondering is if I too have ETM. I definately have the 'hunting at idle' symptom and it's even shut off while at a redlight once or twice. However, I haven't really noticed any problems while on the highway with a...
