Do you have a failing Electronic Throttle Module? What steps to take if you do, plus the latest ETM news. Volvo 1999-2002 models only please.

Welcome to MVS.
To be honest, this is a Volvo forum....so questions should be about Volvo's but in any car's case, your car's problem is most likely due to water getting in the ignition parts. Let things dry and you should be back to normal.
