01 V70 Poor Throttle Response (ETM)

Well, a lot of common issues like the dead DDM and throttle problems, to more unexplained issues such as the cabin blower and main engine fan turning on randomly when parked and locked. No sunroof. Get the "startup prevented" problem once in awhile. Probably more that I cant think of or haven't found.

I have noticed that someone snipped a wire on the wire harness at a main part. It has some type of aftermarket cellular phone thing. Inspector says starter may have been rewired.

I still love the car though. Its a strong runner.

Cabin fan coming on by itself is a common P2 feature designed to keep condensation off the evaporator.

The engine fan coming on randomly can be a faulty controller pack (built into the fan in a sealed metal casing) or a faulty coolant temperature sensor which is just beneath the thermostat.
