stalling car

[kimbaleeg]

hi there just wondered if anyone can help my s70r has a fault.
when at junctions and when idleing now and again it stalls its an auto so this is fun, thought it could be either a dissey cap rotor arm or is it the idle control valve car is 1997 R reg i have changed spark plugs 4000 miles ago any help appreciated in advace its driving me potty. :confused: :confused:

Mine's a V70 Auto and has stalled a couple of times at very low revs.

I know the ETM needs cleaning and have been quoted £67.50 +vat for it to be done so thought the stalls could be a result of that.

When your car is in idle with the Air Con off does the rev counter needle bounce about between 100 and 600 revs? This isn't every time it's idling, just now and then.

Hope this helps.

okbeen to garage and found that you where right lee its possibley the hose which goes to idle valve, i say possibley as its got a split init but mate recons hes never done this one before, he says its usauley the one that goes to turbo. so been to stealers they want £50 and cant order till monday so ive taped it up for time being. but just been on partsforvolvos online and they do a samco kit for my car for £130ish just wondered what anybody thought ov this as i may as well replace them all for that price thanks in anticipation :snail:

[LeeVTi]
