Thanks for the comments byeboy. It will be easier I think to just remove the door hinges While it will be still engaged at the latch side, it should allow the door to swing out enough to release the panel clips and lift it out. Hopefully, I can then disengage the lock and open the latch. Then I can ...

The lock is frozen in the "locked"position, so pulling up on the lock knob doesn't work. I pulled the other side panel earlier and the only part that can be accessed by a tool is the bottom of the rod that the knob is attached to. Pulling on the rod is the same as pulling on the knob, so no luck ...

The rear driver door is stuck in the locked position and will not unlock, either manually or by the door switch. I can't get the door panel off to fix it without opening the door! I searched and found some 850 references but they don't seem to apply to the S70. The weatherstrip/trim butt's up to the ...

You also need to put the ignition in position II while you reconnect the battery if you had the air bag disconnected. Otherwise it will set the SRS light.

If it's the MAF that's the problem ,you can unplug the connector and the car should start and run in "limp mode". You may want to try this before putting the new one in. The symptoms do sound like a MAF issue.

The hose can be hard to remove from the MAF housing. I found warming it up with a ...

I was noticing on a number of different posts that there are some warnings against using Seafoam on a high milage engine as it may remove the deposits that are actually holding your rings together - and thereby you may need a lot of work post foam...

Any experience like this with anyone?

Thanks ...

So it is advancing to a knock and then retards at the point of sensing a knock? Makes sense.

Thanks...

I'm curious about how our engines adjust the timing when octane level is changed from low to high. I understand how the ECU retards timing if it senses detonation or knock when a low octane fuel is used. If you switch back to a higher octane, say from 87 to 91, how does the ECU sense the change and ...

If the reflector isn't moving when you turn the adjuster, it may have popped out of the socket on the reflector. You can apparently push the reflector back to reconnect it but you need to remove the lens. This tip was passed along by John Sharp at SharpHID. He said that often people will replace the ...

Unfortunately the '98 requires a trip to the dealer. There is a tool available but it's expensive. You either live with it or put a small piece of black tape over it!
