Trouble Shooting Question. ETM, Mass Air Etc...

Post by Rishjr »

Hi all,

I've been learning quite a lot from everyone on here - Thank You.

My 2000 V70 (242,000+miles) is showing symptoms of the ETM, Mass Air issues that I've been reading about. How ever I've gone through the process of cleaning the Air Mass, Pulling off the ETM and thoroughly cleaning it as well. I've added water treatment and injector cleaners to the fuel, and replaced the fuel filter.

The car continues to sputter-off while driving down the road, forcing me to pull-over wait 5 or so minutes before it will crank again. Sometimes it will drive for 90 miles, sometimes it will drive for 90 feet. My last two fill-ups have been with premium fuel to encourage the injectors cleanliness, I'm not sure what else I should do!? I just spent $1500 on shocks, struts, bearings, right front axle so i'm not interested in junking it quite yet.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Time to hook a fuel pressure gauge up to that baby. Could be a bad pump, or something floating around in the fuel tank.
