Coil OK but no spark to the plugs. HT leads ok. Fuel pump seems to be priming. no power to idle air control valve or the injectors. Thinking there may be a fuse somewhere for the ECU

Yeah, it has an immobiliser, i disconected fuse 4, but still not starting:confused:

Hi all Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but urgently need help to find out why my 97 Volvo S70 2.5 10 valve is not starting, before I throw a tantrum and pull my hair out. Engine turns over, but no spark. I checked both the primary and secondary windings and the modulator, all ok...

A wee job for tomorrow ;)

Started the P38 up this morning to go to work, got the eas error and the 4 lights lit. Anyway, leaving work everything went back to normal.

Went a run today to keep the battery charged. Got an annoying whistle coming from the nearside somewhere. checked that the windows were closed and sunroof aswell. Will have a better look later sometime.

Took mine to work today just to keep the battery charged.

I'm getting worried about my P38, it's been driving fine for the last 4 weeks without anything needing looked at :p

:D:D she is a good friend of mine ;) Never thought of that :) No worries there ;)

Nearly rammed my Rangie up the arse of our finance managers car. She decided at the last minute to bang the brakes on to park her car next to her friend's car. I accepted her appology (nothing to do with the fact that she wears low cut tops) and later she bought me a coffee :p

I had the Classic 3.5 V8 Vogue and loved the sound and performance, but the fuel consumption became a drain on my pocket after a while. Then came the Disco 2.5 diesel which I thought was ok. I now have the P38 with the BMW 2.5 diesel and find it good enough for my purpose. It gives me...

:D:D yeah I know. It's when you think you have sorted stuff out is when they decide they want some more tlc :D

Nothing today, nothing needing looked at :p

If you are trying to start after the 'glow plug' light on the dash goes out, could mean the glow plugs need looking at. If you are trying to start when the engine is warm then it might be the 'hot start'. I think you can get a unit on ebay that bypasses the hot start. However, there will be...

Could the rocker inhibitor switches need a wee clean? I sometimes lock mine in motorway mode, because to me the ride height on standard looks too high, even though the measurements are spot on.

Gave mine a wash and polish :)

I would like to get diagnostics for my P38a DSE, but totally confused as to what one to get as it would need to be idiot proof for me :D

You could keep the tin for the future top ups, or do as I did, topped up my my mates cars :cool:

Pollen filters?? I have noticed that there may be two black sponge type filters behind the grill on the scuttle panel either side of the passenger wiper arm. Are these pollen filters and are they easy to get/ replace?
