Has anyone learnt of the independent dealership referenced by BsaBantam above? I have sent a private message, but awaiting reply.
I have a newly acquired 2002 V70 2.4 Auto that performs identically to the descriptions above – I am becoming quite adept at nursing a stalling car into moving traffic!
One attempt with a main dealership gave a cleaned throttle housing, relprogrammed ECM, but no improvement at all. They are wanting to replace a damaged ‘B+’ terminal next (+ve jump lead point next to fuse box). I am not convinced this could be related to a fuel system issue.
A phonecall with an independent in the west-midlands suggested replacing coolant temp sensor (£20 part and prob a self-fit?!), I will probably hold out for the 3-way ECM/CEM/TCM mindwipe described by Bsabantam above. Keen to find a trustworthy provider who can get close to the costs highlighted in the example.
Any thoughts?
With thanks.

Hello! I am new to this forum and am overwhelmed by the amount of info out there! But I need some help desperately!
My wonderful 2004 V70 (I am the second owner- purchased Oct 2007 with 49,500 miles) stalls while I am driving. It happened 2x in October 2008 and I immediately took it to the dealer where they informed me that no error codes showed up in the system. After doing a bit more digging, I found a recall that did not encompass my particular chassis, but did reek havoc on the same make and model car. So, a good faith repair was done to replace the Fuel Pressure Sensor. I drove the car without incident until last week- it happened again.
I must mention that each time it stalled, I was driving about 30mph and braking. When it stalled, it was as though I just stuck the key in the car to start it as all dashboard lights went on - then off. I had no steering or braking function - which was quite scary particularly the last time it occurred as I was in the middle of a turn. I am thankful that there was not a pedestrian in the crosswalk or a car at the intersection as I was unable to steer or stop. I almost hit a parked car.
I brought it to the dealer yesterday and they have done all kinds of diagnostic tests on it and of course have driven it - without incident or error code. So, they say nothing is wrong because they cannot duplicate the problem.
Please advise as I am afraid to drive my car!
