QHowdy! I have a ’99 S80 T6 (Gr-r-r!) and the Throttle Position Sensor has gone belly up. I’m told by the Volvo dealer that the only way to get the TPS is to get a complete Throttle Body which sounds typical for Volvo, unfortunately. I’d like to pick your brain a little and get you to help me figure out how to remedy my TB condition. The stealership says the total job can be done (by them, I guess) for about $1,000! I was thinking I could get a used TB for a reasonable cost and see what that does. I haven’t pulled the codes myself so I’m only taking the mechanics word for it. I do know that the gas pedal doesn’t make the car ‘Go’ and just raises the engine speed to 1500RPM and stays there. What do you think? Any help would be highly valuable to me.

A:Hello, It looks like you might need the throttle body, it is very common on these engines to replace it after while, you dont need to pay so much to the dealer that’s for sure, it is not very difficult job to do, if you get used ETM module all you might need it to activate it and any place which has a good scan tool can do that,  I can send you ETM module it would be 150, please let me know
