Hi,
I have no idea whats going on here... I am a amatuer volvo mechanic to say the most for myself and I am stuck. Here is a list of my problems.
My car began to shift funny. I read the boards and replaced the PNP switch. Thought it worked fine untill the other day while driving after every gear shift it seems like the engine gets stuck on an RPM like (2500 after shifting to second) and then after pushing a little harder it will slowly accelerate and gain speed. After shifting into third it gets stuck again and so on... really frustrating. Sometime the turbo boost is incredible other times very sluggish. At high speed it runs pretty normal.
I am also having problems with my engine temp. I recently replaced the thermo because the temp guage was going up and down like crazy all the time and now my temp guage will say less than half way and coolant will come boiling over. Most of the time the temp guage doesnt read over a quarter hot but the coolant in the hose is really hot.
My alignment is straight as an arrow but my steering wheel is crooked... how about that one?
I have pulled a ton of codes and for now my CE light has remained silent, but man my car stinks like it just ate some rotten postrami or something. I'll post some more off my list next time around.
I hope this works. Thank you so much to anyone with the heart and the knowledge to help. I am 22 and this is the first car I've ever really tried to figure out because... well... I love it.
