Re: '04 XC70 Shutting off while driving - Electrical issues

You can start by maybe checking the 3 bolts that holds the timing gear to the vvt if it is loose or if it got loose if not then check your tensioner for the timing belt but compitant individual must do the job, because the slightest mishap my drive you crazy
good luck.

Re: Timing Issues

No joke
I tried pretty much everything I could consider that would cause that problem
nothing worked or fixed the problem
so far I changed out 3 coils, put in original plugs, o2 sensor, MAF, temp sensor and more.
I think if the vvt unit + solenoid is not synched up with the camshaft sensor the car ...

Timing Issues

Hi All
How is all hope all is well.
I have a 2001 volvo v70 base model 5 speed transmission. The vehicle seems like it has some potential when driven cold but when it warms up, it surges forward from the miss firing. I tried setting the VVT in many different positions trying to interpret the write ...

Re: Erratic acceleration between 1200 - 1500 RPM

Truthfully this is what took place.
When I was doing the head over I had to cut the oxygen sensor wire.
On that sensor there are two ground wires one for the heater and the other goes to the throttle.

When I put the wire one way my OTC read MFR communication and the equus reads ETS irratic ...

Re: Erratic acceleration between 1200 - 1500 RPM

I tried changing the mass air flow sensor and I also tried cleaning the throttle. Nothing seems to clear up the problem
the code that comes up on the scanner is P1620. The next part I am planning on changing is the Oxygen sensor because on live data analysis the volt ranges from .525V - .495V during ...

Erratic acceleration between 1200 - 1500 RPM

Just to spark up some conversation I am a owner of a 2001 Volvo V70. I bought it with a blown head gasket.
Nice car I thought when I first saw it. I did the repair on the engine myself, and the vehicle ran for 4 months when it
overheated and started misfiring. I thought the head gasket was blown ...

Re: ECU (R and R)

That was very helpful because the sweetish baby started.

ECU (R and R)

Hi

I recently bought a 2001 V70 which is the first Volvo I owned.
I am a very good do it yourself(DIY) individual that have been using this site since I purchased the vehicle.
All have been going fine until I decided to pull the ECU to check the connection, due to the performance of the
sweetish ...
