Re: system not linking to obd scanner

No it powers up the scanner and says its scanning but than says it cant connect. When I was at the inspection station they kept unplugging it and trying different things with their machines and it wouldnt connect either. The car runs fine and there are no codes being shown but they cant verify that ...

system not linking to obd scanner

Hello All. So my 1999 s70 non turbo has failed twice at the DMV for not linking to the scanner. The first time it connected but since I had just cleared some codes it said that it had not gone the required miles to and the system was not ready. So I went back the second time after driving for a week...

Re: Volvo Noob with Ignition Issues

Well I was on the way back from Delaware and had driven close to 2 hours already and had just stopped for gas so maybe that makes sense now. It is not a problem at all! Thanks all for the input. Does anyone have any comments on the question I had about the ETM not closing fully? Should it have a gap...

Re: Volvo Noob with Ignition Issues

Worked!! Thank you very much! I ran the wire between the two pins and it started up, idled great and had throttle response. I cleaned the old relay and put it back in and it started and died so this must be it. I am going to go get a new one now.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Re: Volvo Noob with Ignition Issues

So I puleld the battery terminals let it sit for a little while and than put them back on and it started up. I let it run and after about 30 seconds to a minute, it died. I tried to restart it and it cranks and doesnt start at all.

Is this a fuel issue? How do i test the fuel pump relay?

THank you

Re: Volvo Noob with Ignition Issues

I also checked and the plugs do have spark when I pull them out and ground them. I am trying to look and see now if its the immobilzing security issue you mentioned earlier.

Re: Volvo Noob with Ignition Issues

So I took the ETM off and was cleaning it. Is it supposed to not close completely? http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk264/gillette_matt/IMAG0905.jpg Also there is oil all inside around the coils... Looks like it is leaking out from the top where the cap is but why would it be doing that? Would a n...
