2007 S80 3.2 FWD -- PEM Issue?

Post by **E Showell** » 02 Dec 2018, 18:19

129k mile S80 3.2 FWD. Threw P0190 on highway. Noticed perhaps slight stuttering, but I mean super slight. Viking funeral time for the PEM?

Mine did this about 3 months before a no start.

What's the age on coils and plugs o the car?

Unknown. Acquired from dealer trade in stock. Assured all maintenance up to date and shown corresponding print out. What's regular service interval for plug change? Coils?

For 2007 6 cylinder 75k miles on plugs.
Ugh, I don't like leaving plugs in for 6 years without moving them.

Coils arent maintenance items on the Volvo sheet - they hope is..

A coil goes. Engine Service light comes on.
You drive to dealer.
They put VIDA on
You pay $250 labor plus $113 per coil to be replaced.

Or you buy one from FCP for $47 and keep it in trunk. M6 hex to remove on P80s, not sure about the P2 S80.

For SWMBO car, I replaced all of them at 125k, sold the spares, kept one in reserve, running on the PM model where I don't want to get a Service engine light call when I am 10 time zones away in the Negev.

Got it.

Yeah - that code is for a low Fuel Pressure sensor reading. It could be the sensor, PEM, or fuel pump. You might need to let it get a bit nastier to get a clean diagnosis

Ill throw my Fuel pressure gauge into the Jersey Bag.

I am acting preemptively. Ordered used PEM from Erie. Willing to roll dice that's what it is.
