98 s70 CEL codes

Post by chefbob »

Hello Chef Bob here with a question. I just got a Check engine light and had the codes read at auto zone. a PO 101,120 and 122 Now the po101 Mass air flow sensor could be a large vacuum leak it says or a bad Mass sensor. I just replaced the MASS last year and I can't see any obvious hose problems. Next the PO122 the throttle pedal position sensor were is that located? and as far as PO120 I don't remember what that was I lost print out . Now i'm two months from inspection so I have time to fix these things but my question is can I drive the car without hurting anything? And any advice on what may be causing these problems besides just the obvious bad parts. Thanks for the help in the past I am no machanic but all the advice on this forum has got me thru some difficult repairs and kept my baby running great.

The throttle position sensor is located on the bottom of the throttle body.
