Got the coolant sensor done it was a little frustrating didn't have 19mm wrench so had to cut wire to get socket on it. When I got that the T40 torx fell off the end of the adaptor and went somewhere in the engine sitting on the manifold. I drove the car and eventually the t40 torx fel off and I ret...

I cleaned the MAF real good and checked all the tubing after MAF. Car is idling now. It wants to idle really low though. I drove it for a few minutes so the computer can do its thing. I pulled into the driveway and the idle is too high, lowered it to about 800. Is that too high? How high should the ...

OK codes read. Basically everything. MAF Coils misfires in 1,2,3, and 4 cylinders. idle control valve catalytic converter fuel mixture too light like I said pretty much everything I touched today. So getting the codes read led me to nowhere as far as narrowing the problem down. SO I set the throttle...

Thanks that is narrowing it down some. I went back under the hood and recleaned the IAC (valve). It did not want to idle. I checked and rechecked hoses and vacuum lines, they are all fine for now. I checked the spark plugs and coils to see if I missed something before they look fine. So I adjusted t...

1999 V70 non turbo 2.4i. replaced ETM with XemodeX a year ago in 2012. The only thing that I needed to do was get the cars computer flashed/updated by a mechanic that charged $65.00. (necessary) Since then absolutely flawless. The customer service and the whole process was way above standard. Everyt...

Ok spent the afternoon looking under the hood and driving it around the parking lot. I attempted to let the computer reset so the idle will go back to normal. It tried to stall at every stop and I had to keep the idle up by barely touching the gas pedal. Then I pulled it into the driveway and it idl...

I pulled and cleaned out the cat. The gun that melted together has been removed, now it is just screens in there. re-installed and drove it on the highway and no more code. checked with auto parts store. This idle problem curiously has as many resolutions as members on the site. The first culprit is...

cannot drive it to get the code. car parts store will not loan the reader. last codes this car threw were catalytic converter p0420 code. Got that resolved.

My S40 is at stage zero. Oil and trans fluid and brake fluid along with radiator fluid have all been done this year. New spark plugs and always the use of premium fuel. Synthetic oil (Castrol) only is used. K&N filter. OEM oil filter. Fuel filter, and some new fuel lines and radiator hoses. The ...

My fan keeps turning on after the car is shut off. The engine is cold and the fan keeps running for over 5 minutes sometimes closer to 10. I can turn the key on and then off immediately and the darn fan comes on for awhile. I was told this could be the culprit for the idling problem also since the s...
