Volvo 850 engine stuttering at low RPM, not sure why?

What you mean by hand sanitizer?

It should be clean alcohol....without leaving residues.

Yeah, bought it at the drug store. I believe it's a combination of alcohol and isopropanol, but both should vapourize.

I think the metal casing comes off, will try.

And presto, out of its cover. The number is 876 4214.

Yep...that's the MAP!

This is how to test it:


Instead of vacuum pump,you can create a vacuum with your mouth and use the vacuum line side from the manifold.

I don't seem to be able to get any contact, I tried sticking a metal pin into it like shown in the pic but I don't get any readings. I suppose I need to find a longer metal wire somewhere, but I'll have to do that tomorrow, though I pushed it far enough in to the point where it hit something solid?

Key in pos.II?

Key in pos.II?

Yep, obviously

This is very common. From a cold start the car runs for a few minutes, then once the engine heats a little bit the stuttering begins. Usually happens at around 2000-3000rpm (so when I start from a complete stop or when I drive at a steady speed on the motorway).

Does the problem go away once the car is full up to temp after 20 minutes or so, or will it persist through a long drive?

Clean the air idle control valve.

It used to work smoothly once the temperature stabilized, but this only happened if I let it idle (the engine refused to get to work temperature when I was driving, especially when the weather was cold). It also ran perfectly when the O2 sensor was plugged out, but now it's struggling even when the O2 sensor is disconnected (though less than when it's connected).

Clean the air idle control valve.

Hmm, idle is fine though, unless I plug in the O2 sensor. I'll look at it anyway

Did you checked IAT values with multimeter?

Once it checks ok....we will proceed to MAP.

If it is ok....we will attack FPR.

If all of that checks out ok....then your brand new o2 is bad(it happens) or you have a vacuum leak which needs to be fixed and which can affect ALL related sensors and fpr.
