2002 volvo s60 Wont move when gas pedal is pushed.

Post by Austin58 »

My 2002 Volvo S60 just started acting up. It starts up all fine and putts really loud and hard. I put it into drive and I push the gas down and it doesn't move. the car will go about 18 mph but wont move when you push the gas but the engine revs like it is moving. I put it into park and it putts and jerks. I had the codes read and they were, P2177, P0037, P0032, P0507. I looked up the codes and I know they are 02 sensors and ECM idle control to high. the catalytic converter is not plugged and is ok. spark plugs and coils were just put in and also a new battery. I don't know what to do. help me please!

If the rpm gauge moves up when you push the pedal but the car doesn't advance, it sounds like the transmission is slipping (assuming it's automatic). Also make sure the engine mounts are ok and that the axles are in good shape as well.

okay thank you. Also I realized that when I buy new fuses for the ETA it blows soon as I turn on the car. what does that mean?

Try unplugging the ETA and see if it still blows the fuse.

There is a plug on ETA that connects to the car harness. If you unplug that and still blow fuses then you have a harness short. If not then ETA has a short.

Best off starting a new thread as you're in the wrong forum category . Moderators??

While we're here does the car do the same thing in R for Reverse?
