Our 99 v70 has had difficulty turning over now for over a year. It's also had a rhythmic RPM fluxuation and we just brought it to the dealer.

They say the RMP flux is the electronic throttle. They cleaned it. Didn't do any good. They are proceeding with the extended warranty on this.

THey said ALL 5 of the ignition coils are cracked and quoted $600 to fix this. I see them on FCP Groton for $52 a piece. My question is: can I replace these myself? Is this straightforward?

I just replaced our ABS Computer/Control module and I do everything on our 89 245, so I'm not affraid of getting dirty.

THanks for your responses
