    I live one hour north of Toronto, Ontario in Canada. My wife and I have a
    99 V70. The ETS (Electronic Throttle Control System) light comes on after
    the car has been running for about 15 minutes. Our mechanic cleaned the
    throttle cable; however, the problem continues. I have been advised to get
    a new electronic brain for the car. If I don't, the car will start to run
    rough and may fail to start according to the mechanic. Any suggestions?

  3. Not to second guess your mechanic or anything, but I wouldn't have a lot of
    faith in a guy who cleans the throttle cable on a car that doesn't have a
    throttle cable.

    I have a feeling something was lost in the translation, and it was the
    throttle body cleaned, not the throttle cable. I believe that there is
    about to be announced a warranty extension on these modules for all
    99-01. Google "volvo etm" Also visit: http://www.vexedvolvo.org/

    Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
    (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)
