S40 new member help with misfire and p2110

[Sciroccotune]

Hi guys,

Just joined so hello to you all

I'm after some help with my friends 2005 55 plate 1.8 s40. He has had it since new and its been very reliable but in the last week it has developed a fault that has gone from intermittent to every time you drive.

Basically the car starts up and but the revs are high and if you push the accelerator the revs take drop a bit to slow. After about 50m of driving the car goes into a limp mode and the engine runs like its on 2 cylinders and you get a message reduced engine performance / limp mode. It's so bad it can't really be driven.

In the last few days I have replaced the throttle body and an O2 sensor but still get the same fault code
P2110 forced reduced rpm.

I have tested the whole engine side loom and all checks out, I am now thinking PCM /ECU.

Any advice that saves me having to take it Volvo would be amazing

Thanks

Chris

Check the CEM contacts, if they are dirty or loose all sorts of magic things happen, are the injectors clean and clear, that could be another thing

Thanks for the reply,

I haven't checked the cem but will do, is it under the drivers side dash panel (UK car)?


Thanks

[XcOM]

it's under the passenger footwell



Reverse the image for UK car's, so in otherwords, its under the glovebox, kill all power before you touch it though.

Thanks, everything looked fine with it.
Sadly the car is now booked in with Volvo for diagnostic on Thursday.

Will roport back in case it can help other members in the future

Hi all,

I finally sorted the issue. Volvo couldn't figure it out which was a wast of time!

Finally found that the breather pipe on the back of the manifold was perished and split. Had to remove the whole manifold and replace the pipe. It can not be accessed with out fully removing the manifold

Pipe was 32 pounds from Ford or Volvo and it's about 4 inches long.
