Re: Starting issue XC70 2.4t 2001

. If the problem is sporadic it could be that the wires need to be checked. My engine would sort of cough with no reason and very sporadically, and come to a stop. After a long while and disregarding [professional] suggestions of replacing the car part by part; from AC compressor to MAF to MAP and G...

Re: 2003 Volvo XC70 Instrument Cluster Issues

. Find a cell phone or amplifier repair shop. Ask if they would re solder a printed circuit. Remove the DIM. Take out the printed circuit. and take it to be re soldered. It should not cost more than 50 bucks (20 minutes work) This is EXACTLY what those DIM repair companies do for 4 to 9 times this a...

Re: Starting issue XC70 2.4t 2001

. Hi b4anditas, don't repeat my mistakes, DON'T EVER ever ever START by replacing parts before you're 200% certain your diagnostics are correct. Crank-crack-no-start can not be caused by a sensor (MAF, MAP etc) that if removed would not affect the engine from starting. It could be fuel related (pump...

02 S60 engine shudders, stops as if on empty tank RESOLVED

. As you can see it's been a long time I started this thread. With this as result of fault reading; example reading.jpg Now the rest of the story: I did anything I could to find the reason. I also visited several general shops and some claiming being specialists and working exclusively on Swedish ca...

02 S60 STFT & STFT; What do these 2 graphs mean???

. 1 Normally STFT does wobble up and down. Not around 0% but in the negative zone But sometimes it stays dead stoned, like this time. 2 The LTFT seams always dead at about 12% from the 1st second engine starts to the last when it stops. Whether idling, running, accelerating or decelerating; suddenly...

Re: 02 S60 engine shudders, stops as if on empty tank + rest

. Thank you slicker for the feed back, and confirming that replacing sensors is not always the solution. You're lucky (?) to have 2 of them to swap and test. I have had to buy $ 500 sensors and parts to realize that I shouldn't have ;-( so you have "ECM-1600 boost pressure sensor and ECM-170F B...

Re: 02 S60 engine shudders, stops as if on empty tank + rest

. The last 2 days I had drove with MAF (next to air filter) connected but MAP (second before TB) disconnected. The engine showed symptoms of empty tank (despite the 3 gallons of unleaded!) I pulled both cables off, it runs OK For the next 2 days I will drive with MAP on and MAF disconnected. There s...

Re: 2001 Volvo T5 S60 Idles Roughly, hesitates at idle

. abscate, I am very curious to know how (from which point on the line) the unfiltered air would be entering the manifold? Mine is a 02 turbo and I don't see any hole /intake where unfiltered air could get in there. As you know I am having a different problem with my engine and very tempted to pull ...
