Here is what one other owner had to do at a dealer, read through it and take it from there, and yes the pressure switch will cause this problem.
I have received the same error codes as all of you, t P0090 (Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 Control Circuit) and P0190 (Fuel Rail pressure sensor circuit malfunction). Same symptoms.
I've had the fuel pressure checked, valves, changed the spark plugs (by the dealership), software upgrade, cleaned the battery terminals, ran heet through the engine about twice, and .... nothing.

The dealership couldn't figure it out either. Eventually they came to the conclusion that it was a corroded battery cable, that they would graciously change for $800. ... so, I didn't do it, because I seriously doubt its the battery cables.

In the winter it had trouble starting as well, and would flood, I had to unplug the injectors sometimes to get it started.

I really can't think of anything else, i'll clean the throttle body this weekend, and start running on premium to see if it makes a difference.

If the dealership can't figure it out, you know its a mystery. I'm starting to wonder if its a computer problem.

SOURCE: engine idling

Hi

The MAF code isn't really a problem, but the ETS is, because it is pointing to failure of the electronic throttle, which is a common problem, and a KNOWN problem at Volvo. The repair needs to be carried out at Volvo due to the need for a software upgrade after the repair, and it is this which is probably causing the bad idle rather than the MAF problem.

Now for the MAF problem....

Basically, the MAF is registering low air flow, and the main causes of this are:-

A dirty hotwire, which can be cleaned by removing the MAF and then spraying the hotwire with either brake cleaner or switch cleaner and then blowing it dry with your breath, but do not physically touch the wire, just blow on it gently. One good reason for a dirty MAF is the fitment of an aftermarket air filter of the type which requires spraying with oil. The oil contaminates the hotwire and causes this problem.

An intake air leak, such as a loose or split hose or vacuum line, a split diaphragm in one of the vacuum operated units such as the fuel pressure regulator, EGR valve, brake servo, etc, which could be located by sucking on the pipe connected to the unit. If you could **** air through the pipe without a vacuum build up then the unit diaphragm is split, or a leak at the intake manifold or throttle body.

If you were to spray carb spray around seams and joins in the intake system and the revs were to pick up slightly, then you would have found a leak.

If the hotwire was dirty, and becomes dirty again very quickly, then you should have the burn-off voltage checked out.

Obviously, it could be a wiring issue, but this is very rare, and 99% of the time, if a dirty hotwire or an air leak aren't the problem then a new MAF is the cure.

Very best regards

Geordie

SOURCE: engine management light volvo s40 problem

The best thing is to go to your local Volvo maintenance shop or Volvo experts to find out whats the problem..usually the coomon ones I think is the programs inside its ECU unit..you try this..ask the volvo experts to reset the ECU and lets see..if problem arise then it is no doubt you might need the sensor..hope this help..

SOURCE: Check engine light is on. OBD reads p0191 &

Replacement of the fuel pump would be the case here,unless the fuel filter needs to be changed.To find out,remove the fuel filter,and blow threw it with your mouth,kinda tast bad but it will tell you if the fuel filter is restricted.You should be able to blow threw it easy.

SOURCE: Check engine light (emission system service required) Help?!?!

There may be problem with the mass air flow sensor (very common with Volvo). This causes the fuel system to malfunction.

You may have noticed increased fuel consumption, loss of power and general 'lazyness'.

Better to take it to authorized Volvo service for a checkup/fix.

Pontiac grand prix 2007 car shutting off, with Start disabled throttle control module.

It doesn't say module , Starting Disabled Due To Electronic Throttle Control !
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system delivers improved throttle response and greater reliability and eliminates the need for mechanical cable. The TAC system performs the following functions:
• Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensing
• Throttle positioning to meet driver and engine demands
• Throttle position sensing
• Internal diagnostics
• Cruise control functions
• Manage TAC electrical power consumption
The TAC system includes the following components:
• The APP sensors
• The throttle body assembly
• The powertrain control module (PCM)
Normal Mode
During the operation of the throttle actuator control (TAC) system, several modes or functions are considered normal. The following modes may be entered during normal operation:
• Minimum pedal value--At key-up, the powertrain control module (PCM) updates the learned minimum pedal value.
• Minimum throttle position (TP) values--At key-up, the PCM updates the learned minimum throttle position value. In order to learn the minimum throttle position value, the throttle blade is moved to the closed position.
• Ice break mode--If the throttle is not able to reach a predetermined minimum throttle position, the ice break mode is entered. During the ice break mode, the PCM commands the maximum pulse width several times to the throttle actuator motor in the closing direction.
• Battery saver mode--After a predetermined time without engine RPM, the PCM commands the battery saver mode. During the battery saver mode, the TAC module removes the voltage from the motor control circuits, which removes the current draw used to maintain the idle position and allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded default position.
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the PCM detects a condition with the TAC system, the PCM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
• Acceleration limiting--The PCM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the vehicle acceleration is limited.
• Limited throttle mode--The PCM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control however the maximum throttle opening is limited.
• Throttle default mode--The PCM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.
• Forced idle mode--The PCM will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off.
- Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
• Engine shutdown mode--The PCM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

When cruse is set, why does it not hold going down hill

Cruise control only maintains speed by utilizing the accelerator. To speed up it increases it and during slowing is removes it. The cruise control will not apply brakes in the event of a steep downhill run. In this case the vehicle will start to accelerate in the same manner as if the cruise control was not engaged. But in theses cases, most cruise controls, once the speed exceeds a certain amount above the set speed, will auto-disengage as a safety feature.

My toyota tazz 1300, 1999. wont start in the morning unless i give it a bit of accelerator but during the day it starts perfectly. Another problem it gives me, the engine is over heating very fast eve

Cold starting used to need a control on the car called a choke. Modern cars have a modern equivalent. It could be that when the engine is cold from being unused overnight it has a build up on the injectors and the extra push of fuel from the accelerator is helping overcome this issue.
At any auto store or garage, you can find fuel additives to clean the injectors and fuel system, in the UK we have Redex that does the job.
Find something similar, run it through your fuel and you should find the issue is better.

While merging onto the highway when my car hit 3 and 4th gear the engine seemed to "stutter/misfire" during harder acceleration. Check engine light also flashed briefly during hard acceleration. Dur

Could be a transmission problem or something as simple as bad spark plugs.
The engine is under the most load when RPM is low and you are trying to accelerate, such as when it upshifts.
You should have the computer checked for trouble codes and hopefully that will point you in the right direction to test.
If the spark plugs have more than 50,000 miles of wear you might start with replacing them.

Car will start and idle well, idles fine in the different gears. Then when you go to accelerate, about 1100 RPMs it starts surging up and down, but if you go up towards 13-1500 RPMs, it rides smooth. What...

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. I would say it is either the idle control sensor or the map sensor. Usually, with the map sensor, you experience the car stalling out. If this is not happening, I would say change the idle control sensor. If you have a check engine light on, take it to Autozone and have it scanned to make sure.

Need to use gas pedal to star in the morning after warmed up in starts fine

Just a little technical information: Your jeep does not have a "gas" pedal. Your Jeep has an "accelerator" pedal. This may sound trivial, but if you understand this, it will help you to know what is going on. The accelerator does not control the gas, it controls the air going into your engine. If the engine will not start until you give it more air, then the problem is most likely an Idle Air Control solenoid (IAC) that is sticking closed during cold operation. This is a common problem. Replacing the IAC will probably fix the problem.

Cuts off at 70mph when accelerating.

Best thing to do is go to an Auto Zone and have them scan your truck for any DTC codes. Auto Zone scan free of charge, there is just to many things that can cause the engine issues your running through such as detonation during acceleration due to timing issues to lack of fuel pressure. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help you get your truck running 100%
