Hi everyone my 2001 volvo S80 wont start right now. last weekend my girlfriend and i were going to the mall and after i had stopped at a stop sign my accelerator would go all the way to the floor and my RPM would stay at a constant 700. so i turned my car off and back on and then it worked again for like 3 secs until i hit the break then it did it again. (i just recently replaced the Throttle body, mass airflow sensor, and the fuel filter) so i put my old throttle body back in to see if it would do anything and my pedal would rev the RPM now but it wont go over 10-15 MPH. so i parked the car and checked the fuses and everything and saw that my ETM fuse was blown so i changed it and now since i changed it the car wont start. it will roll over and like start but then it will die right when it starts. HELP PLEASE!!!

Can you hear your fuel pump when you turn the ignition on just before cranking? Check for fuel pressure at the shrader valve - if no then check fuel pump fuse and relay. If yes, then check for spark (you might as well have flooded your engine)
Please post back.
Thanks

i figured everything out. i put back in my new Throttle body and then replaced the blown ETM fuse and now it works. thanks for your help!
