BCo Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 thanks for the info in a the drive...Guess who'll be getting up tomorrow at 5:00 am, and not to open up presents. while looking for the vaccuum leak, can i use ether to spray and help find the leak?That is one way to do it. Being somewhat risk averse (when it comes to spraying a highly volatile and flammable solvent on my car), I would advise against that, and suggest looking for obvious leaks as suggested by Winkey. Or make sure to have a fire extinguisher around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrigo Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Uodate:Just got a call from Georgetown Volvo, here in NY, where the car went for the mysterious CEL...among other codes there was a ECM 261A, and there were a bunch of other codes that were stored in there. So they told me that the techs diagnosed it as a faulty MAF sensor, and they will clear all of the stored codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWinkey Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well ok..since no one else will chime in.....your 1171 is possibly a vacuum leak look at the rubber elbow on the pass. side of the intake..the 1174 is also related to that as well....the 0422 is an evap code I believe and I think it's for the valve on the rad shroud but not sure just going off of memory. I highly doubt ANY of those codes are related to an 0/2 sensor...the 1171 and1174 are fuel trim codes and if you have no vacuum leaks you may possibly need and AMM but without reading values I cannot say? Man I feel like I should start charging $$$....ahheemm :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
