I messed up
I have a 2001 S40, and it has been running fine, but in the last 2 weeks it has been kind of hard to start up.
I was thinking because of the cold weather. Just last Thursday I was at a restuarant and my car would not start.
I will only start an stay running if I place my foot on the gas pedal and if I let it off, my car will turn off. Then my brother told me to check my oil. It was real low but no light came on. I am very good about my oil changes but this time, I kind of forgot. I hope I did not mess up my engine. I am afraid of the outcome. It has 88,000 miles on it and I was in the process of scheduling he maintenence for mid April but I probably need this done ASAP.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Help!!!

RE: I messed up
It can be various things? check your spark plugs and the wires and make sure everything is connected? Also have your fuel pressure regulatorchecked? I would also check all connections to your airfilter box and make sure nothing looks out of place there. Did you have a check engine light before this happened?

RE: I messed up
I get my oil change between 3,000-3,500 miles, but this time it was a tad bit longer.
I went this past Friday to get the maintence done. They fixed the problem. One was something to do with the fuel pressure (I left the paper in the car), I needed spark plugs and some other minor things. But my car is running a lot better. I think in 2 years, I am going to purchase the
S60. Has anyone ordered any stereo equipemnt from Crutchfield? I have 6 speakers, the ones in the front door panel is the ones I want to
replace.
