Dies on the throttle
Started playing up, when the engine is ticking over at idle it will die (and cut out) if I touch the throttle.
I changed the coolant temp sensor a year ago, so I doubt its connected to that. Any ideas?

Hej Phil,
sounds to me like "antenna ring" ( dont't know how this part is called in Englisch). This ring is around the ignition switch and is sending the code from the key to the engine immobilizer. When this ring is defekt, the engine starts and get's cut off immediately, just as you describe. To check, start the engine and when it's cut off, turn the key 180 degrees and try again. If this works and the engine runs after a few tries, it's the ring. Gernot

ok, thanks. But it doesn't die immediately. It will sit on the drive idling, but when I touch the throttle to move off it will splutter and cut out.

Try disconnecting the MAF.
I had a 940 a few years ago that idled fine, and I could even pull away from rest if I was very - very - gentle on the accelerator, but give the pedal a prod and it would die. It was the MAF in my case, By disconnecting it, the engine ECU runs on default settings and the engine ran much better. Its a quick and easy test to see if the MAF is the culprit.

Brilliant, glad to hear you've identified the problem.
Re cleaning it - don't even think about using a cotton bud etc to clean the element. I've snapped *2* MAF sensor blades trying to clean them like that - use an aerosol but don't touch that blade with anything - the merest hint of touching it, and it WILL snap. If you decide to buy a new one, stick with a new Bosch part - I've found that the other brands don't work well on a Volvo.

Also, now I've unplugged it my engine management light is on (it wasn't on before), and stays on even if I plug it back in. Does that sound right, or is it meant to go off when I plug it back in? Sorry about the Qs, I'm new to MAFs!

Hi Alpine
I think it should clear when you turn the engine back on. But maybe you have to disconnect and reconnect the battery, I don't remember. Steve
