it Sure sounds like the throttle body limp mode. VIDA check on the sensors is the definitive way to confirm


Should have vida in my hands in a few days. Do you know by chance if the contactless tps sensor is going to screw with anything diagnosis wise? I’m honestly hoping you’re right and it’s a ...

If I try to drive off after startup without letting it idle for a few, it refuses to go anywhere. Pedal to the floor , I could outrun it on foot, it pretty much just idles forward then eventually picks up a little steam.


Seems to be moving as it should, the etm responds to the pedal , the car ...

Have you ever cleaned the ETM. The throttle plate can get sticky.

Other possibility could be the coolant temp sender. Check the connector near the power steering pump as they are known to corrode and even break. Does you engine come up to temperature normally?

Yep it’s nice and clean ...

Let us know where in the USA you are located. Maybe someone with a VIDA laptop lives nearby and could help you monitor the sensors to determine if the ETM is to blame.


I’m in northern Virginia, I’ve considered picking up one of the knock offs myself but wasn’t sure if it was worth the hassle ...

The very low power which suddenly clears sounds a lot like you have a problem in the throttle body.

Your 2000 is the second year of the electronic throttle body/module/ system. (Abbreviated ETM ETB ETS here)

It’s the small 10cm cube attached to the intake manifold and the fat rubber snorkel ...

Could really use some tips or advice as this issue is driving me nuts. 2000 v70 n/a auto, I’ll start with the symptoms. First start of the day, car always fires right up, no hard starting or anything like that. If I try to drive off after startup without letting it idle for a few, it refuses to go ...

It’s at 180k, sending the abs module out for a rebuild isn’t a big deal to me, just wanted to make sure it was something that was doable. The axle is what made me a little leery, but I suppose if it’s aftermarket junk it’s very possible that it was bad. What should I ask in regards to the angle gear?

I don’t think this is a flip. He’s got a bunch of paperwork with it. Seems to be an enthusiast. He’s even got the old parts to come with it. It also even comes with the Vida/dice. My main concern is to make sure that the abs module and the axel sounded legit as far as needed repairs? Or if any of ...

Have a few quick questions about a car I want to purchase. It’s an 04 v70r and appears to be well taken care of. My current car is a p80 so I don’t have much knowledge of the p2 cars. Anyway this one is said to need a front axle (seller says new one was bad out of the box), and it needs an abs ...

It’s a non turbo p80, 3309 it is. I have a bunch leftover from doing a flush on my Saab (blasphemy) so that saves me some $$$
