2000 s40 (P1014) erratic idle won't level out to normal

P1014 undefined. Hello peers, my idle is unstable and won't drop below 1k rpm. Checked the vacuum hoses, no apparent leaks. Just a steady flow from 1500 to 2500 rpms and not sure if I have a bad sensor. It is loud and pulls my car forward like throttle is stuck. All help appreciated. 240k miles. Tha...

Re: 2000 S40 Limp mode and misfiring within 5 mins of sta

Update to IAC AND STARTING PROBLEM. As it turns out I had a loose wire going to my coil, must have tugged it loose when I replaced vacuum hoses. After one full day I slept on it and early the next day found it when I was about to check plugs for spark. Started right up and has been trouble free sinc...

2000 s40 location of IAC

Can someone help me locate exactly where IAC is? Is it under throttle body with electrical running to it?

Re: 2000 S40 Limp mode and misfiring within 5 mins of sta

And thank you so much for the direction rmmagow. So just to be sure start with both position sensors because these two, according to P1014 code could be the sole reason for the poor performance and may be triggering the other codes because of the "running problems?"

2000 S40 Limp mode and misfiring within 5 mins of startup

Hello to all: I am a new member to MVS and already have reaped the benefits. My latest adventure has to do with random misfiring. I have 236,000 miles on my s40 and it is plagued with random misfiring upon warm up before reaching normal operating temperature. This seems to be an intermittent problem...

Re: 2003 s40 location of fuel pump control unit

Sounds to me like the fuel pressure regulator. It mounts on to the fuel injection rail and it has a small clear plastic hose running from it to the intake manifold and if it is bad you will be able to see it dumping the gas through this hose directly below its location. My car had same symptoms and ...
