2002 Volvo S60 T5 2.3L no throttle response VIN: YV1RS58D92
Car is back at body shop, they are resistant to letting dealer play with it as they will want to know what it will take to repair. I have a suspicion it just needs an ecm reload/upgrade. I don't have an open $7350/yr subscription so I think they should talk ... Trouble codes: P2122 (accelerator pedal position signal too low), P2121 (accelerator pedal position faulty digital signal).
