Intermittent loss of power 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be DW on  Fri Jan 7 04:03 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have been regularly scanning the brickboard (including archives) for the last 9 months but see very little input regarding 960s. My '93 960 has been experiencing loss of power (the engine did not die) while driving. This is occurring with increasing frequency (one year, three months, one month). The check engine light comes on when this happens and the codes retrieved are 113 and 115. It runs fine after the engine is turned off and restarted immediately. I have brought it to an independant Volvo specialist twice but the problem did not present itself while there and they are stumped as well.

Items checked by specialist included condition of wiring harnesss, coolant temperature sensor, etc..

The car was involved in an accident recently and the problem seems to occur more frequently after the repairs but it did lose power once before the accident as well.

p.s. Can anyone out there confirm if the '93, 960 has an "injection amplifier" and if this could be a possible source of my problems?
