Electronic Throttle Module, Yes your kidding yourself....I did the b4 and drained and filled my Trans 10 times and mine wasn't as bad as yours sounds. I loved that car....but sometime love hurts!:o

Give it a bath, change the transmission fluid, 1 bottle of fuel injection cleaner, 5 gallons of high test gas and drive it to the closest dealer that has the car you want. (Thats what I did) [cool2]

Sell it NOW! [thumbup]
Sounds like you need a new brake booster, ETM and a transmission....so I'd say get ready to shell out 6 grand retail....ouch!

Glad you got it...I have not upgraded to IE9 yet so it just let me in. I wonder if this stuff is classified and how I was able to get in in the first place??? oh well I really enjoyed the training...

So this was interesting training along with a quiz at the end of each chapter. If you have Vida this is a must see Volvo retailer...

Yes do the load test...but have it done at the battery not the jump posts up front. 8yrs...Volvo batteries do last but I would replace...Trust me here do not let the car lose power when changing the...

One for each and call your local Autozone and see if your coil packs are listed in their test guide...this is where you will find the resistance numbers or perhaps one of the elders here have that...

How old is the car battery? On their death bed they send gremlins thru the electrical system.

Ohm test the coil packs, they fall like dominos. When warmed up is when they start to show signs of failure. ( your car does not have wires)[thumbup]

Keep um both! One would make a great first car for your son! I'm in the same boat 2 Volvos and a 13yr old boy. I keepin both of mine.[cool2]

Would love to see a trail ride video of your commute....sounds fun! [thumbup]

Not sure if its orig. but Astro14's advice is right on! follow his instructions to the T and then go from there.
Good Luck[thumbup]

So my wife has been taking my XC70 a little more than often and now claims she wants the XC 90 to replace her minivan. I can't afford a new one and I dont want a 7000 dollar one so I'm thinkin a...

So called back and they told me timing belt only is 499. but I would not recieve any Volvo for life updates if needed because that just the t-belt is not a full service. So in order to get the...
