Engine stalls after a few minutes 2003 XC70 120k

Post by Bero »

This happened after I forgot to tighten the clamp on the hose that comes from the inter cooler to the crossover pipe that connects to the turbo. I drove a little over 100 miles, arrived home and later went to start the car. It turned over but kept cutting out. Found the problem, tightened the clamp and drove to the gas station. When I started the car to leave it would run 10-15 seconds and then cut out. After about a 1/2 hr. it started and I made it home. I have cleaned the mass air sensor, no luck. I changed out the sensor with another one no luck. If I pull the connector from the sensor the engine almost stalls and then keeps running. My next step is to remove the throttle body and clean it. Can someone lease tell me how the connector comes off of the throttle body? These parts are
old and break very easy. I replaced the vacuum hoses about a month ago so that should not be a problem. If the throttle body is not the problem I don"t know what else to do.
Any other thoughts?


Thanks

Update,
Cleaned throttle body and replaced gasket , engine runs fine. Idle is at 600 rpm now.
