Thanks for the reply. It could be The CPS but that doesn't account for all the other funky elec issues (sticking fan, sunroof and dashboard short etc). A few years ago I was having stall issues and replaced the CPS. The stalling was solved. However, i bought a used one ($40us) at a volvo wrecking ya...

So i was about to give up and bring the car to my backyard mechanic because it started to stall in dangerous idle (stops signs,Red lights). However some drunk A**hole sideswiped the car while it was parked on my block. Hit and Run. Broke the axle, bent tie rods, warped knuckle. So it went to the mec...

Anyway, today i took my lovely wife fo...

Anyway, here's what happened: i took my 859 to the volvo dealership for a diagnostic. the car ran perfectly for them but going off the symtoms i described they recommended i replace the cam sensor. The mechanic rec...

Only 95K on the car.

Yesterday I pulled out the throttle body and cleaned it and the TB sensor (although there isnt much to clean). Below is a list of things that I have done so far: MAF Sensor (Seems like it checked out) Fuel Filter (Replaced) Plugs (Less than 100K) Distributor Cap or rotor (Replaced) Fuel Pump Relay (...

ok thanks gentlemen. I haven't had a chance to work on it until today. I will let you know what i find.
