What was the original idle speed of a Volvo S60?
Also note that the original idle speed for these engines was 850 rpm – this was increased by 50 rpm during one of the earlier “throttle software upgrades” – which has the effect of masking this particular symptom, at least for a while.
Why does my Volvo S60 stop at 900 rpm?
1. The earliest symptom happens in this circumstance – after driving steadily for a while at highway speeds, you come off the highway and have a series of stops – at traffic lights, or whatever – each time, the engine speed will drop noticeably below the 900 rpm idle speed, then come back up to 900, with an ever-so-slight surge.
What happens if the ETM sensor is not working?
If it did not, then you’d have less oxygen in the cylinders, which would either cause the engine to run “rich,” wasting fuel and possibly fouling spark plugs or catalytic converters, or the car’s computer would reduce the fuel charge into the cylinder, with a corresponding loss of power.
What causes intermittent electrical problems in a Volvo?

Can a normal throttle go below idle speed?
A normal throttle will not do this – if you watch your tachometer as you slow down, your engine speed will almost never go significantly below idle speed.
When did Volvo switch to electronic throttle module?
Volvos affected by the electronic throttle module (“ETM”) are 1999-2002 models (US model years). Before 1999, Volvo used a good old mechanical set of parts to control the throttle. In 1999, they switched to a “fly-by-wire” module… this problematic ETM. This design affects almost a half-million Volvo gasoline cars.

How does a throttle position sensor work on a Volvo?
Within the throttle body is a “throttle position sensor” which, I understand, is nothing more than a strip of resistance film, over which the throttle place moves. Depending upon the location of the throttle plate’s edge, the electrical resistance through the sensor strip tells the computer the exact throttle plate position.
How many miles does a Volvo throttle body last?
Like me . Volvo has extended the warranty on original throttle bodies, for up to 10 years or 200,000 miles, and that discussion has, I’m sure, been had many, many times and is beyond this post.

How long does it take to fix intermittent AC in a Volvo?

What are the symptoms of a bad throttle / accelerator pedal?
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Throttle/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. $79.99 – $89.99. Average rating from 4,829 customers who received a Check Engine Light is on Inspection. The days of having to constantly adjust the throttle cable due to a loose nut on the carburetor are long gone.
Can a car upshift if the ETM is failing?
You can upshift and chances are that the throttle will not fail again at that point – though you’re now on borrowed time, and a complete failure can happen at any time. Once the throttle has reached this point, hunting at idle will be very common, even with the engine cold, and the car may also be hard to start.
What should the idle time be on a SBC?
This is just my guess, but it’s a starting point. vacuum was plugged off, tried it on ported vacuum as well, still no dice. it seems to only idle with any consistency around 1400, and honestly it sounds more like 800 with the cam. I am used to having to idle larger cammed engines up a little higher but 1400 seems a little much.
Is it normal to have a rough idle?
This is definitely not a normal situation. If you are experiencing a rough idle or your RPM is running high, then there are a variety of reasons for why this could be happening.

When did the Suzuki Savage S40 Boulevard come out?
No, it’s the S40 Boulevard now. Whatever they call it, I’ll miss it. Suzuki introduced this particular model way back in 1986 as the LS650 Savage. It was a small, simple cruiser with a 650 cc single-cylinder engine. There was very little to this bike.
When did Suzuki Savage get a dead engine?
The Savage has been a significant part of my personal motorcycle history, though. In the mid-2000s, my girlfriend at the time got interested in motorcycling and bought a 1986 Savage with a dead engine for cheap. She was quite sure that, with a mutual friend’s help, we could get it running for her again.
