Re: 1999 V70 Starts then dies Immediately

The car ran fine for two weeks but the problem started again in the last few days - about one or twice a day.

I would appreciate pointers to a good mechanic in the SFO bay area.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Re: 1999 V70 Starts then dies Immediately

Thanks for your feedback. What the dealer said did not make sense. I also thought it is like an RFID which does not need a power source. We do not have other keys with transponder chip near the key ring when we have this problem. I do have the other key in my pocket but my wife runs into this proble...

Re: 1999 V70 Starts then dies Immediately

Hi, I have a 2000 S70 and I am having the problems described. I first ran into this problem a few years back and the dealer found the problem with the antenna ring and replaced it. It started happening again last year and I have had the ring, relay and cam shaft sensor replaced but it still happens ...

As soon as the speed slows down in traffic, the temperature starts climbing in steps of 2-3 degrees up to the previous high. It looks like it is related to air flow or...

2000 S70 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

I notice the temperature readout on the dashboard is about 20 degrees higher than outside and it seems to drop when the car is moving. I cannot find the sensor so it would be great if someone could point me to its location so I can check to see if it is touching something or the air flow is blocked....

Re: S70 Ambient Temperature Sensor Fix

I am having very similar problems with my 2000 S70 but I cannot locate the temperature sensor.

Is yours the same model? You had a picture posted but I do not see it on the post.

I would appreciate pointers and pictures, if available, to help me locate the sensor.

Thanks
