V70 1998 Shutting Down

Post by **HML** » 24 Apr 2009, 12:17

After success with the 95 850 fuel pump and filter. My 98 V70 started shutting down. I was able to limp home with multiple starts and stops and and some erratic engine running. I'm showing a P0102 code. Is that the MAF code?

Would the MAF sensor effect the performance? The engine seemed to loose power suddenly and act erratic. I was able to limp home starting and stopping. The car was running fine previously.

Yeah, that's what a bad MAF will do and mine went suddenly like yours a couple of winters ago- scared me to death- thought the car was going to blow up... but changed out the MAF sensor, reset the codes and it's been great ever since ('98 S70- basically has all the same engine/intake, etc. components as your '98 V70).

I guess I will attempt a cleaning, or is a change out in my future?

You can attempt a cleaning but it didn't do any good on mine- maybe you'll have different luck.

thanks for your help! sounds like wishful thinking on my part
I 'll give it a try cause I already sent my wife for the cleaner.
