2004 XC70 Cross Country No Throttle

Post by RaynormusT »

Took my newly acquired 2004 XC70 out the other day and had no throttle at all.....car started and would idle but no response from the throttle. I tried the throttle body re-learn (key on, depress pedal slowly, release pedal slowly, repeat 3-4 times key off start car.......nothing) Removed t-body and cleaned butterfly. We are going to replace the MAF and T-body this evening.....Any other thing I should look for?

Is this a known problem?

No. The electronic throttle actuator on the P2 chassis is very reliable
