Re: Why does my battery keep dying

I don't think it a parasitic drain. Take for example yesterday. Car has been fine for 2 weeks, no problems. Yesterday she started it the morning , did a couple errands went back to the car and the battery was drained enough to only get a clicking sound from the starter . I got the jumper cables and ...

Re: Possible ETM Issue?

If your car was running rich before and now starts hard when hot , I would look at the fuel injectors leaking.
A leaking injector can cause gas to enter the cylinder when the engine is off and flood the cylinder and cause this hard starting issue.

Re: 2001 volvo etm with new Sacer tps repalcement

Yes, I got mine from him on ebay (sent from Isreal). It did arrive quickly I must say
I guess I am going to have to test the voltages . I don't have the originalvoltages though.
I think with Xemodex , you can send your original etm and for $499 they will retrofit your original one.
So far I spent ...

Re: 2001 volvo etm with new Sacer tps repalcement

It is the same as the XeModex except you're installing the sacer unit instead of them. As far as time, I can pull my etm out in about 1/2 hour. Once out it took about an hour to take what needs to done to install the Sacer part. I do have soldering skills and equipment so it was not hard for me ...

Re: Random stalling, no electrical

It just dies and coasts to a stop ,then when you try to start it, it does nothing , almost like the battery is disconnected. No noises except a faint humm sound like when you put the key in the ignition with the doors closed. I've had to get towed home and then later on, maybe a hour or so, you go ...

That was the first thing I did. The battery is in the trunk and the connections look like new. Battery is fairly new and tested fine,
All the connections and terminals are clean and tight.
I was thinking of disconnecting the battery and removing the ecm and spray electrical contact cleaner ...

Re: Random stalling, no electrical

Thanks for the response
When AAA towed it, they did a scan check and everything on the printout said the alternator was fine, battery fine, starter fine and the alternator was putting out the right volts..
When the car runs , the lights are super bright, no dimming, no indication that the battery ...
