V70 T5 2001 Throttle, fuel, fuel filter, injector, ETM problem? Folks, My 2001 T5 with 66K miles has started to show signs of not responding to the gas pedal being depressed on occasion. It is very intermittant. A resulting loss of rpm on the tach is evident. Only once did my engine service light come on. At first I thought it was the dreaded ETM problem but I was thinking now some bad gas with H20 in it, or fuel filter clogging, injector problems, fuel pump? Today I was taking sharp turns at high speed and it seemed to happen just after the turn upon acceleration in a straight line....only for 2 to 3 seconds and then returned to normal throttle. It has also happend at freeway speeds upon acceleration up to 70-80 mph. I am running some fuel treatment through it right now to remove water. Any thoughts on where to start trouble shooting? I was thinking of replacing the fuel filter this weekend. Any special tools I need for this? How long does the car store the codes for the engine service light? Thanks, Chris
