V70 Turbo 2003 - idle speed cycles when engine is warm

Post by mpv »

My wife's 2003 V70 turbo cycles from low rpm's (near stalling) to normal rpm's when the engine is warm. Cold engine seems to run fine. I have cleaned the MFS but did not help. I have read some posts that suggest cleaning the throttle body may help. Does anybody have any pics/instructions on how to do this? Thanks in advance ... mpv

It may be a temperature sensor that's giving the wrong info when cold.
