Re: Random Stalling

Are your grounds good? Had a problem with my old pickup and it would randomly stall. The ground cable from the computer to the frame was bad and the computer would shut down. Also make sure your engine to frame ground is good as mine was also bad and caused an issues with the plugs to have a weak sp...

cabin light on

Since I changed the passenger front door lock and latch assembly the other day, junkyard pull, I have been having weird cabin light issues. Sometimes none of the over head lights will go off unless you opened and re-shut the door. It is now those lights will go off when you lock it but the knee dash...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

Hit the junkyard today for a new front passenger side door handle cable and went ahead and got the door lock actuator and latch assembly. I broke my handle cable yesterday. And I scored with getting a door lock that actually works!!! Mine would not unlock, yeah. An HVAC control, got it for the light...

I did ohm test the current one and it is showing resistance of 0.21 and is about right by my mileage, 10+/- gallons used up. The one I pulled the other day goes from 0.06 ...

Re: "New" Distributor Cap - Return or Install?

I had misfires when i got my v70. Spark plugs fixed a lot but not all. The new rotor and cap fixed almost all except a slight one at idle while in gear. The newer (used) coil fixed the rest. Try those. And the distributor, could it be wear from being upside down in the box?
