1998 V70 200,000
Speedo + Odo stopped at 175,000
When ever I give the engine gas whether its just to roll forward to get closer to the white line at a red light or "punch it" my AC dies, also she seems to stall when executing a "rolling stop" but the Kick back up after the coast at low speed. Just cleaned my MAF with CRCMAF cleaner to no avail, alas to the idea of a simple fix. The AC blows snow out the vents when its running but will only run after i hit the brakes, and if i coast in Drive it will in 10-15 seconds cut off HOWEVER if i flick (automatic transmission) it from Drive to Neutral it will remail on till i put it in drive and accelerate.
Please help its hotter than a jalapeno here in Miami in summer!!!
