Thanks. That's a good suggestion. I saw reference on another forum for the PEM recall issued in 2008; the recall even covered my year. However, I entered my VIN on the Volvo site and there are no open recalls for my vehicle. If it indeed applied, it was probably already addressed. I bought the car s...

Resolution: OK, so I guess this module is sometimes called the PEM for Fuel Pump Electronic Module? It is odd that in my Volvo wiring diagram (TP 3999202), in the "Control modules Overview of locations" on pg 34, it does not identify the location or acronym for this module; although it app...

OK, I have pulled the back seat and have access to the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM). Another red herring; I get power through the relay and into the FPCM (Grn/Wht pin 2) when cranking, I thought it should have been there with "key on" also. I have 2 ohms between 4/5, indicating the pump...

Updated symptoms: I checked for common voltage to the injection valves and also checked one which is pulsing. At this point I went back to the fuel rail. The previous pressure on the fuel rail was a red herring, there is no pressure now. It must have had some residual pressure when I checked it, whi...

Thanks for your response. I tried this with no change in behavior, so I followed up with a shot of ether. The engine runs as long as the ether stream is active, even revving with the gas pedal a bit. As soon as the ether stops, the engine dies. Is there some ECM control over the fuel pump or injecto...

2007 S40 T5, 6 speed Turbo AWD Cranks, sputters, won't start My battery died and after recharging, it cranks but won't start. It had been running fine before. I have done the following: Replaced battery in key fob, although the original battery was 3.2V Pulled key out, waited 5 minutes, disconnected...

Thanks Rick, I have also found brands I don't recognize. My preference was for GKN because they are a trusted after market part, but they don't seem to make one for my model; I have not found a catalog on the GKN website. German parts also carries SurTrack, have you used SurTrack or GSP? I have seen...

Hi, I am preparing to replace front axles on a 2007 S40 AWD T5 6 speed manual transmission. I am not finding aftermarket replacements at eEuroparts or IPD, the original Volvo parts are 36000547 & 36000556 ($$$ - even for rebuilt). Some places have one side but not the other, or don't have both s...

Thanks, I ordered a tube. I saw ATE had a 75 ml tube with the same product number at 3/4 the price, but did not describe the compound at all. Is the ATE the same stuff?

Is the drive geometry standardized between manufacturers for the max access pass through ratchet tools? In other words, are the sockets interchangeable between Craftsman, Crescent, Kobalt... etc?
