Hi Everyone!

Had a couple of questions about the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) box where the codes are read:

1) I was successful at retrieving the codes but am unable to clear them following the directions I received on this forum. I
hold down the button for 6-7 seconds but the red light does ...

Thanks very much, MIJ. I will check this out tomorrow. It takes me a little time to get things done but when I get specific directions on what to do, it makes it so much easier. I'll post back and let you know how things went. Thanks, again!!! I really appreciate your time and knowledge!!!

Thanks, instarx, for your reply! I do appreciate it! Unfortunately, my A/C hasn't worked for years. My husband has been out of work for two years now due to lung cancer so we haven't had that checked out. We've tried to figure out the problem ourselves with the help of this forum (and they've given ...

Hello Everyone,

My brother changed out the cooling fan in my car today. It smoked out on me over a week ago. My question: "how do I test it to see if it works properly?" It spins freely by hand which the old one would not do. My brother ran the car in the driveway for about 20 minutes and it didn't ...

Thanks, Ozark!! You're reply is GREATLY appreciated!! Thank God we didn't drive the car today. We'll have to order a new cooling fan. I'll try Ebay and then FCP Groton. If you know anyplace where the prices are lower, let me know. THANKS, again!!!!!!!!

I need the Volvo experts again!! I was driving yesterday and smelled something burning. I then saw white smoke (not steam) coming from under the hood of my car. Pulled over to check and, when I lifted the hood, you would have thought the engine was on fire After about 10 minutes the smoke died down ...

Thanks MIJ and Tailor for all your help!!!! I did all that you instructed me to do and the car passed inspection with flying colors!!! You saved us tons of money and we truly appreciate it!!!! Since my husband has been sick, it means alot to me to have a forum like this where I can learn how to take ...

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH Tailor and MIJ!!!!! Your EXPERT advice is appreciated more than you could know!!!!! Now I have a plan and will do the cleaning of the throttle body and replace the thermostat. I will clean up the ECT sensor and find out if it needs to be replaced. As far as the 02 sensor, I ...

Hi Everyone!

I live in the great state of Massachusetts and I failed the car inspection. It was weird because it wasn't until after the inspection that a code came up for an 02 sensor. I'm going to type in what was on the report and hope someone out there will translate it for me. Please remember I ...

Hi Everyone,

Never did get my A/C to work but have a new problem. I got a code that front 02 sensor is slow. Anyone know what that means? Should I replace it? Anyone know the right one for my car? Is it an easy DIY job? Thanks for any info you would give to me!! You know I appreciate it!!
