    S/V/C Rough Idle - P1175 / P1238 / P455

    My 1999 V70 Turbo w/ 162k on it is having some intermittent rough idling. It is consistently throwing a P1175 / P1238 / P0455 code combo. I've read where the P1175 is the idle control valve, but the 99 v70 doesn't have the ICV. I'm thinking maybe the PCV or the Throttle control? Anybody have any...

    99 V70 Turbu with engine idle fluctuation and vibration at higher speeds

    my 99 V70 Turbo has recently developed this issue. At lower engine speeds, the idle seems to fluctuate - it'll go to 1500 rpm for maybe 2 seconds then drop to ~500 for 2 seconds, then ~1500, ~500.... No CEL yet to pull codes from. The next issue that seems to be accompanying this is a noticable...

    240 Wipers have stopped working

    89 244 n/a its been a gradual process - first the delayed wiping went out, then about 2 weeks later, the slow continuous went out, then after a month my hi speed wiping has gone out too... does this sound like a motor issue or a switch issue, or something else entirely?

    240 intermittent loss of power

    ok - so my 89 NA 240 LH is having an intermittent loss of power. i'll be driving down the road and randomly the car will just loose power - no power steering, engine shuts down, etc. I pull over and the car starts back up, no problem.

    240 intermittent stalling issue

    89 240 n.a. auto... I am having some intermittent stalling. I picked the car up for a good price knowing it had an issue. I thought maybe bad gas or something as the car has been sitting for quite a while... still might be that I suppose... I've changed the plugs, dizzy and rotor, fuel filter...

    240 how do i get the fuel filter lines loose?

    I'm trying to remove my fuel filter on my 89 240. I've got the filter and pump assembly dropped, but I can't get the Damon connections loose. On one end it seems like it's a 15/16 at the filter and a 19mm wrench end but the filter seems to just slip... due to the aluminum or is it a smaller...

    240 89 240 n/a LH 2.4 fails emissions testing

    so my daughter took our 89 to have the emissions tested and failed :*( this is an 89, so it has the LH 2.4 system. the AMM (Which was replaced 3 months ago) is a self regulator, so no need to adjust from what i'm reading (section 251 of the bently manual). on the test results, she got a 13.62%...

    240 new to me 89 244na rough idle

    So my 84 244 got rear ended by a full sized dodge quad cab. It handled the impact well enough that i decided the only suitable replacement would be another 240. I found an 89 - tb sticker in place, 160k miles, allfor under 500, so i bought it.the first issue to deal with isa rough idle. It seems...

    S/V/C TCU's and V70's - informational

    I couldn't find any good information on if the TCU units on these cars were VIN specific. FYI they are not. you can replace a TCU unit as long as they are the same part numbers and software versions. I found alot of posts that stated these were VIN specific, but the TCU units are not. I was able...

    S/V/C P1618 ECU TCU wiring failure

    After a long time of not-running i finally got my 99 V70 GLT head gasket replaced. the car runs - which is awesome - but its runs with my CEL light on and the up-arrow flashing. the code is a P1618, which is something indicating a wiring error between the ECU and TCU. I didn't have this before...

    '84 240 installing an amp - question

    I think i'm going to install an alpine amp and some 5x7 3 way speakers - i've never done much in the way of stereo stuff, other than pull the deck in my 240 out and put it back in. I was reading some basic stuff last night on it, and it doesn't sound too bad, just time consuming to get it all...

    240 Towing with Automatic - why no overdrive?

    So i've read that it's a bad idea to tow with your overdrive on (mine's an AW70 on the 84 244 na)... which when towing thus far, i have always had the OD off. I'm wondering about long flat roads... is it still a bad idea to have the overdrive off, or would it be OK to turn it on in this...

    240 why does my gas mileage suck?

    84 244 n/a auto... just had the engine coolant temperature switch reconnected which the mechanics thought was causing the car to run rich... which helped get rid of the black exhaust and stench of gas... so i was expecting a real increase in my MPG with the disappearance of my 'running rich'...

    240 water dripping from underside, near driverside passenger floor

    i'm not sure what this is... on the driver side, about where the passenger feet are, there's a 2" hole where water seems to leak from. From the rear wheel, it's maybe 15 inches in front of the wheel and maybe 12 inches in... It doesn't seem to be coolant - as my level remains the same. it's not...
