Do you have a failing Electronic Throttle Module? What steps to take if you do, plus the latest ETM news. Volvo 1999-2002 models only please.

Remove the 3 torx screws and the fuel line drops off the manifold.

As far as the manilfold bolt near the thermostat housing just use a 1/4inch drive set with a "wobbly" joint.

It's been two days since completing repairs- new PCV system parts and new Xemodex throttle body and full synthetic oil change. Car is running great. CE light came on during my commute home from work. Stopped at parts store to read code. It was the bank 1 oxygen sensor, which has been on and off since I purchased the car in '06. Parts Geek has it about $100 less than anyone else. Can this be for real?
Thanks again. This forum has been invaluable.

Since I just went through this with my 98 V70 NA - go with a OEM / Bosch 02 sensor. The PO on my car used a chinese aftermarket part right before I bought it. Ran very rich and threw a CEL. I found a true Bosch one for my car on ebay for 73 and it was an easy fix. Cleared my CEL and the car is running great. No foul smell and the MPG has increased dramatically.

Strange that a '98 NA (or turbo for that matter) would have an ETS light. Perhaps yours is a VERY early build. Does it have a throttle cable?

I did buy an original fit Bosch oxygen sensor, but have not installed it. All dashboard lights are off for the first time. They have been out for a couple weeks and the car seems to get better mileage, too. It might be my imagination, though. Perhaps the PCV was responsible? Of course, there is the new throttle body installed.
