Is it the injector's??

Jerry, glad you got it sort it out.

These swede babes can "get nasty" at times if you are not familiar with them. Avoid the dealer at all cost, find a good indie shop that specializes in volvos.

Do invest in a good code reader. Look online for best prices, but you should be able to pick up a decent one for about $80 shipped to you. Best investment you'll make.

OK: Yesterday and today the temp went down and rained like crazy. Went out to the car and---IT RAN LIKE CRAP!!!! Like I was right back to square one! Like I did not do a thing to repair it!!! Missed and sputtered just like before! Now I think the gent that said it was the coil packs was right in the first place. I have not had a chance to put in the injectors or the new coil pack cause of the rain. But it does make sense. It started running better the more it warmed up and dried itself out from the moisture. MAN!!! It is driving me nuts!!! I will get a code reader ASAP. GREAT idea, and thank you jda. I really would have loved to drive and run this car when was running perfect. I am sure it is a dream to drive. Maybe I will one day if I am really lucky. Hey----- It could happen!

Hey Jim,
I'm going to say this...go to your Volvo Dealer and have them run a diagnostic on it. I have a 2004 S60 2.5T that was misbehaving and found that the auto parts stores can't truly tell the issue due to the propietary codes. They can read generic codes that give an idea, not the actual issue. Once you find out what the issue is, ask for the parts list and and go from there.
Or like was mentioned earlier, find a good independent shop that has the correct system to read the proprietary codes.

DEALER????? Man, The dealer in Greensboro NC has REALLY made me gun shy about any dealers. Not only did they charge the hell out of me for one injector, But they told me they wanted $500 to put it in!!! After doing it myself, I can come to no other conclusion but THEY ARE ALL THIEVES of the highest order!!! I do not have any idea what they would charge for a proper diagnosis of my problem, but it would more than likely be ASTRONOMICAL! And that I can't afford right now. I love this car, but after driving my Cummings Pickup for the last 15 years, with barley a problem, this is the pits. Of course there is the fact that driving my truck is like flying a B17 bomber, and driving the V70 is like flying a P51!! But at my age, I will go for the reliability in the long run. I may have to go to the dealer, and that is the best suggestion, But there MUST be a code reader that we can buy that does the same thing. There must be. {I hope} I would rather buy one for myself than line those thieves pockets. Then if I keep the car, I can figure out what is wrong and fix it myself. I know, Great idea, but it never works out that way. Please let me know if there is a code reader and software that is available to us. Thanks again. ------------------Jerry

Tank pumped = $325
Spark Plugs = Needed anyway
Additives to keep running = $215 [approx]
5 new injectors = $365
Coli pack = $53
Did all labor but the tank = Not to bad
Runs real well now.

I need to know how to remove and replace the injectors. My #4 is missing and I have put a lot of techtron in the gas which helps for a bit but not for long Thanks
