Check Engine Light & ECM-130A Fault V70-XC70 2000

Hello again!

For a little background [if you haven't seen it already]... The wife and I purchased a 2000 XC70 AWD/SE, silver with 114k miles for $7,200 on 3/28/06. It is in excellent condition except for brakes, rotors, shocks, top engine mount, wipers, all which I am repairing within the upcoming week. The timing belt has been changed and the car has been very well maintained, both inside and out.

Before we purchased the car, the check engine light was on. I had Volvo perform their 44-point inspection and they found fault code ECM-130A. They told me it was vacuum-related. We purchased the car and drove home (from Florida to Virginia) and the light went out about 1/3 the way along the 830-mile trip. It stayed out for a day and yesterday it has come back on. The temperature has started warming up here in Virginia (85 deg. yesterday), and we had new tires installed, but these are the only changes that took place that I can think of.

Any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot this further?

BTW, Thanks to all who have helped me along the way during this purchase and after.

    Check Engine Light & ECM-130A Fault V70-XC70 2000

    Hi,
    As I write I have my 2000 V70 XC in for service. I get the "check engine light usually once per tank full of gas. It does not come on at the same level all the time but usually around 3/4. The dealer told me it was probably the filler cap, and I replaced it 2-1/2 years ago. The light still come on at about the same frequency. I occasionally put a little bit of wheel bearing grease on the top of the filler neck for a "seal" and many times it will keep the light off for a month or so. My car just passed 152K miles and the performance doesn't seem to change when the light comes on. I just recently had the ETS light come on (throttle system) and goes off after I shut the car down and restart, that is the main reason for my visit.
    I am curious what their diagnosis will be. I will write back.
