Symptoms of ETM cleaning needed?

Post by jfuhrman »

I've got a 99 V70 GLT - 139000 miles on it. 2 weeks ago I had ignition coil #2 replaced. The car now has the ETS light and the CEL light on. It idles very irradically for the first 3 minutes or so, then the idle evens out. The ETS light may or may not go out - does about half the time, but the CEL remains on. The MAS software on the car is up to date and the car is not under warranty.

Do the symptoms mentioned above sound like an ETM issue? I know that I need to get the codes read for starters. Any other ideas on what may be causing the symptoms I'm having?
Thanks, john

Hello, What's MAS software? Posters suggest unplugging the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor during a rough idle condition to see if it'll smooth out. Kira
