Looks like that's all it was, a loose hose I didn't see underneath the accelerator housing. Fixed the hose and now it's running better again, still idles rough. Hopefully if I replace the two...

Still stalling at stop signs, latest error codes: P0130, P0135, P0304... it's going back to my local indy shop so we'll see.

Well I replaced my MAF yesterday, since the car was actually able to idle with it unplugged, unfortunately this did nothing for the problem. Still stalls in the driveway and at stop signs if I don't...

Well I drove my Volvo triumphantly after installing the PCV for an entire day. The next day when I started it, it stalled immediately and is now up to all of it's old tricks. I stall at every stop...

Well it wasn't the 2 hours I'd hoped for it took me 5 and I've forever lost 3 bolts which I hope to replace promptly (all from the manifold 2-10mm one on top and bottom and one 12 mm from underneath...

I know the local radiator specialist here in Binghamton has a smoke machine that hooks up to the system to check for down to pinhole sized leaks. I've been having problems with my 98 with 140k, and...

Yes I do have the old turbo. About the PCV won't that vaccuum hose come in the kit from IPD or is it a separate hose?

Well I cautiously approached my mechanic of 3 years at the conveniently located (walking distance from our house) indie shop. He said it was definitely the turbo, and he felt that if it was the pcv...

I've noticed the oil dipstick hole has a white almost crisco-like substance lining it. Isn't this a sign of a coolant leak into the oil? Could that be caused by the turbo in any way? Or is it just...

Well the turbo showed up today, my appointment is Thursday to replace it. I see IPD sells an entire PCV kit for less than $100 and I may be able to do that myself. Some testimonials on the site...

So I got a used turbo with lifetime warranty from erie vo-vo for $350 including shipping... not bad I thought. Hopefully the MAF and turbo solenoid can be cleaned or replaced due to the oil, I'm...

What do you guys think about a used turbocharger on ebay for a 98 volvo xc with 140000 miles. How many different turbo chargers were there that year?

Well, I unplugged the MAF and sure enough it idled better. So I took it to my usually reliable "indie" shop who told me the turbo was blowing oil. They said this probably is fouling the MAF and...

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try. The problem is how intermittent it is. Now it hasn't happened for 2 days. I had a similar problem but not as severe with it stalling about 6 months ago, so...

So I'm reading other forums about this error code P0243, and have seen it suggested to disconnect the MAF sensor and see if the car runs better. How do I do this and how long do I leave this...

The Lucas oil thread was in a posting by TNXC entitled "engine knock". The consensus seemed to be that it couldn't hurt to try it once in an engine with noisy lifters that was burning oil. JRL had...

I went to Auto Zone this morning, and got the code P0243. Which came back as something to do with the Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid circuit. Any suggestions? Thanks for the Lucas Oil advice.

I'm giving Lucas oil treatment a try. I've read good things about it in other threads. I put in the fuel additive and in the oil fill, as the car is using a half quart in between oil changes. ...

Can't help with your electrical problems, but this repair kit worked well for me with the loose panel.

I'm having similar problems with my 98. I'm trying Lucas Oil treatment per suggestions in previous threads about rough startups and smokey tailpipes. I'll keep you posted on how it works. ...

I have a 1998 xc with 139,000 mi. that occasionally starts up rough, chattering in the driveway and triggers the check engine light. More often lately it will start up okay and when I get to my...
