Hi there, first post here but been lurking for a while! About 3 months ago I bought a 1997 S70 2.5 turbo. Up until recently I have been using it daily without a single problem. Unfortunately about 2 weeks ago it cut out and refused to start. Disconnected the MAF sensor and it idled (a bit roughly) Purchased a new non genuine MAF hoping I might get lucky but no luck just same result. Swallowed the cost and ordered a genuine new Bosch part instead. Again exact same issue, car really struggled to start, idled very lumpy or cut out with also a very bad smell from what I'm guessing is the air/fuel mixture being right out. Was just hoping that I was just very unlucky and had another duff part. Sent that back for another replacement Bosch sensor. Tried it tonight and once again my problem is still there! Now it seems the previous owner has messed with the wiring at some point because the MAF plug on the cars side had at some point been cut off for some reason then reattached. I have checked the connections and they all seem ok, just to make sure I redone all the joints with insulated crimps and tested the plug for continuity, all seemed fine. Secondly, I have a warning light on the dash. Plugged my basic generic OBD scanner into it and got a P0103 fault back. Cleared the code but it instantly came back. I'm really at my wits end with this and not sure where to go from here! Any advice or tips would be great.
Thanks guys
Dave
