'99 S70 T5, 61K miles. Had had intermittent P1171 code for last 10K miles, with no perceptible effect on driving or fuel efficiency; P0455 code accompanied by a "putt-putt" around left front of engine area, variable with engine speed--disapppeared when I replaced cannister purge valve last week or so.
Today, drove to work with no difficulty; parked about 5 hours till lunch, about 40 degrees F outside. When car was started, it sounded a bit odd and the ETS light was on. Ets remained on after repeated start. Drove about a mile, and put the generic code reader on it when I got home. Current codes showing are:
P1171 P0455 P0121 PO1615 PO1608
The 121, 1615, and 1608 are new and troublesome.
Alldata indicates the generic 1608 interprets as an ECM 903F--throttle unit internal problem.
Questions:
Is it likely that I have two seperate problems, or is the new problem related to the prior 0455 and / or 1171 codes?
Is there a way I can do further diagnosis with limited equipment ( over a hundred miles from the dealer, and the predicted "driveability issues" sure are noticeable with the ETS light on!)
Sure am glad my ancient Dodge 318 PU still runs.
