Volvo s70 2.4 base / rough idle , intermitent shuter/ fuel delivery S70 1999

Replaced MAF , ETM (one year ago), plugs new 6 mos., NO CODES ECM , NO LIGHTS EXCEPT when rough idle occurs the "winter" arrow flickers momentarily, then real low rpm , then shut down of engine . restart helps conditions ,but only for a little while and then trouble back again . It sounds and acts just like "fuel delivery", "vapor lock" or inadequate fuel problem since there are no codes from ECM. Volvo performed scan and found absolutely nothing wrong with ECM , ETM !! MAYBE FUEL SYSTEM RELATED !!

Sounds like my problem.

When the up arrow flashes on my vehicle, low rpm, and engine shutdown, I can duplicate this action by pulling the main relay (main fusebox, position 1) while the engine is running. This relay is labeled 2/32 on the schematic.



The starter motor circuit is completely isolated from the engine running circuit. Like yours, my car will crank like a badass. But, the engine won't fire up.


The mechanic is looking at the main relay 2/32 circuit on the schematic. This relay is controlled directly by pin A41 on the ECU by disconnecting it from ground, interrupting the circuit.

The ECU gets power from main fuse block 11A slot 8 feeding fuse block 11B slot 1 then through connector 24/43 pin 4 then 24/15 pin 5, then to the box where the engine computer and transmission computer are located.

Ignition keyswitch has two pins that feed 13.5v into pin A12 of the ECU when the key is in #2 or #3 position. As long as fuses 11A-8 feeding 11B-1 are ok, the ECU is supposed to sleep until the keyswitch sends 13V to pin A12 (position #2 and #3).

The main 2/32 relay coil: one side connected to 13v at all times through fuse 11B/1, but the other side of the coil is connected to ECU pin A41 which controls the relay by interrupting the ground connection through harness connector block 24/43 pin 1.

Relay 2/32 controls power to fuses 11B/2, 11B/3, and 11/B5.

Fuse 11B/2 supplies power to the ECU through pin A27, the fuel injectors, and what appears to be the idle air controller (8/5) and whatever this is (7/17).

Fuse 11B/3 supplies power to ignition coil and fuel pump

Fuse 11B/5 supplies power to AC relay, O2 sensors, Canister purge and evap valve, PAIR, Turbo control valve, and PTC resistor air preheat (MAP??)


I have a salvage ECU that acts the same way.

If you have it looked at professionally, this might save you some shop time.

I've racked up about $500 plus $300 for rental car and we still don't know what is going on. If you do find a solution, could you share it with us?

No such thing as vapor lock with these fuel injuected engines, so rule that out please.

What speeds are you running when this happens? The shift arrow is bothersome, but that would mean an error code of some sort.

It could be the fuel pump relay, if your car has one. Or you need to check if the pump is working.

I just realized this is a 1999.

My mistake.


I'm getting the up arrow flash too.

Dealer found no transmission codes were saved.
