    Not enough data. What year is your car. What blinks at the dash. What other lights/messages do you have?

      Sorry about that. It is a 2001 v70 cross country.
      It will idle smoothly all day but when you push
      On the throttle it raises about 100 rpm then drops back
      To an idle at that point the backlighting and display
      Will blink at you . And i have no codes.

        I am suprised that there are no codes. You have an electronic throttle, which means that the pedal position sensor communicates with the throttle without a cable. Either the throttle position sensor has gone bad or the Electronic Throttle Module is kaput.

        You could check the throttle body and look for a yellow or white tag. If it is white, the ETM is probably dead and needs to be repaired (see www.xemodex.com). If it is yellow (most likely after all of these years) look for a bad wire connection at the throttle body or the brake pedal.

        A yellow tagged ETM does not mean it is good, it needs to be checked out with a good scanner.
