The greedy Swede returns : ETS warning light

Post by clifford06 »

Greetings ! Well, the ole girl from Sweden is at it again. Car has sat for a week or so while I dealt with my truck. Went to start the other day to go to work , and got a hard no start . This alone will get a car out of my driveway :evil: . Next day, hard start then started and ran . Rough idle , ETS light. Hesitant when revved up. Checked codes and got PO340- cam sensor , PO1238- turbo control valve. Cam sensor was replaced a couple of years ago with a PNP unit from a S80. Turbo valve replaced a few years ago with a OEM Volvo part from dealer.

I'll check for hose leaks to the TCV . Any other hoses or sensors that could set this this code ? I did notice that the hose on the intake manifold was a little cracked near where it mounts to intake. I'll try another PNP cam sensor just to see if it makes a difference . Not gonna spend a lot on this car anymore . Just need to drive it for the bad weather months . If its the throttle module ( yellow label ) , time to " Ole Yello " it. Can't keep putting money in the pit.

Thoughts and opinions always respected !

Leaky induction will give you a lot of spurious codes, so don't load the shotgun yet.

Check the hoses all the way from turbo to ETM, remove, inspect, replace.
