HELP 99 S80 S80 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be PATRICIA on  Thu May 26 08:26 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a 99 S80 2.8 turbo. When you start off it don't have any power. You can mash gas pedel to the floor and it will jump and barely go. Then it will kick in and take off. Once you get your speed up then it goes until you have to take off again. HELP!

The first thing I would try is switching off the traction control to make sure it is not malfunctioning. This will be a button low on the center console labeled either STC or DSTC depending on which one you car has. It automatically comes on everytime you start the car.

The next guess would be the ETM.

Good Luck
