Surging without pressing the gas, and pressing the gas and getting no power for a short period. Replaced under the warranty Volvo agreed to extend.

I have had ETM issues twice, the first time at 120,000 miles, the last time at 220,000 miles. I let the dealer fix it the first time, the 2nd time I 'fixed' it myself. My symptoms were a surging idle. I removed the ETM and cleaned the soot build up. I guess I am too late for the extended waranty so I will continue to cleam my ETM every 100,000 miles.

Just missed the warranty when it finally went "bad". I think it was an intermittent problem prior to it setting of a bad code. Bought rebuilt replacement for $600 from Xemodex and repaired myself.
