What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

I replaced my Canister Purge Valve and Evap Shut Off Valve finally, after replacing all of my evap lines over the last few months but still having a constant p0452. Which were the final pieces of completely refreshing the evap system short of doing the carbon canister.

I originally had codes p0455 and p1081 but swapped out old hoses in my engine bay while doing my head gasket. After the headgasket and engine bay evap line refresh a new problem arose - my ETS light started coming on intermittently with the code p1041 and i was still getting p0455, p1081. A few weeks later I found two cracked hoses coming off the carbon canister and swapped those out, after which my gas tank started shutting off the pump several times during gas station fill up. A couple months later- I'm worried about the ETS light and my throttle body more than anything, so I swapped my Throttle Body with a junk yard unit from a 99 NA (which ran perfectly as a direct swap). At this point p0455 was gone but I was now getting p0452 instead, plus still p1081 and occasionally p1041 + intermittent ETS light. Last couple weeks I noticed that my car was having a hard start after a full tank of gas so I figured it was time to bite the bullet and swap both the shut off valve as well as the canister purge valve. I've only driven it 20 miles since, so i need to run it for more miles and fill the gas tank up to see if my issues are solved, but a good lesson for me on Stage Zero.. if i had checked allll evap lines early on i might have gotten to this place quicker.

It remains to be seen if my ETS light comes back on, but could the evap system trigger issues with the throttle body?

Update: CEL and ETS light back on. Code p0452 back and pending codes p1003 and p1081. I think I gotta bring it to a shop with the proper Volvo diagnostic tools before I throw any more parts at it. Very well could be MAF as Bmdubya mentioned

The remote starter didn't work on the '98 T5 with a no-crank condition, so I started moving stuff and found what looked like a mouse nest above the starter.

Norway Rats seek out Swedish cars. It’s a Scandinavian Neighbor thing.

On the edge of starting a thread for this crank, no-start.


!998 V70 NA
New reworked cylinder head - planing, valve lapping, valve guide seals

Compression test ok cold, wet at 150-180 psi
Have good spark at Number one plug
New cap and rotor
Supply voltage at fuel injectors in 12.4V with battery at 12.5V
Fuel pressure 38 psi at key on, 42 psi during cranking
Fuel pressure holds for 30 minutes
Engine timing confirmed correct, non VVT engine of course.

Have spark, but no joy on ether, so spark timing suspect.

Cam Sensor tests for high resistance, so Im guessing wires are bad. Find spare to test.

Uses the BOSCH unit 9146108

Not sure what Volvo your driving buddy but mine is tons of fun to drive!

I've organized parts and tools.

I have low tolerance for neat people and high tolerance for a mess.

Had to tighten the transmission line connector on a radiator to stop a small leak, will be pulling one from a parts car soon

There's just something about a clean pan ready to go back on...

Flashed another tune from Hilton onto my car and ran some logs. Still trying to diagnose some weird ignition timing issues in 2nd gear. After replacing the rear engine mount the other night, that didn't improve anything like we thought it might.
I also need to adjust my short shifter at some point to move it closer to me. I have long arms, but I prefer not having to reach too far. Plus I miss 3rd every time I try to shift quickly, so I need to figure out how I can prevent that. Other than that, the Snabb short throw is a HUGE improvement over the mushy stock shifter.

So nice and shiny!

Finished the mock-up fab on my copy of the Ultra Performance rear lower chassis brace for my 854.



Also finished the install (save for bleeding) of my P2 R Brembos on the car.
