1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2006

Purchased used car 1 week ago. 87,000 mi. No problems, ets light came on. Yellow light, not red = not an emergency. Got home safely, no odd behavior, and read about it in manual, which said to take to dealership, very vague description. Went to start car, smelled gas, rough idling revving 1,000 rpms while parked - I wasn't even touching the pedal, blinking headlights a. K. A intermittent power. If this occurred on the road, I cannot predict what could have happened. Read same complaints online. . . Expensive to replace etm unit, continued failure, no recall or warranty coverage. I do see a recall on 11/14/2006 but I'm unsure if this is the same problem.

My throttle is defective on my 1999 Volvo S70. The car idles too low and will die at a stop. My mechanic informed me only Volvo can repair this.
