    You don't check your oil level everyday?

    Haven't gone 300 miles since the oil change, changed service centers and I never thought to check it. I was looking at the recipt and it shows 40 qts, will go check dip stick later today. Would too much oil cause it to miss?

    MID 128 PID 105 Intake Manifold Temperature
    MID 128 PID 173 Exhaust Temperature
    MID 128 PID 100 Engine Oil Pressure
    MID 128 SID 1/2/3/4/5/6 Unit Injector - missfire
    Sid 231- internal 5V supply, may be wiring issues, ore bad sensor that shorts all 5 v circuit
    MID 128 SID 21 Engine Position Timing Sensor
    MID 128 SID 22 Engine Speed Sensor - crankshaft sensor, used for cyl ballancing

    And as I can see, no fuel pressure code.

    Clear all codes and drive till u get problem and check for codes one more time

    one advice: use this manual http://www.volvo.com/NR/rdonlyres/9860B7B6-7535-40FB-8062-53D55DA50C43/0/PV77620184635MID128...

    Try to bypass the line and drop a bypass line down into the tank and see if it still does it. What you may not see is if a hole has been rubbed into the line or a crack due to age. Using a bypass line from the engine to the tank will also bypass a possible problem with the pickup tube or suction at one of the inlet lines. Some tubes are part of the fitting going into the tank and have a tendency to crack at the weld between the fitting and tube. You can pull the tube out and see if it is part of the inlet fitting and inspect or pressure test the tube with air.

    As it turns out # 4 Injector was bad. I've lost Injectors before but never had one shake the truck like this one did, was really like a cloged fuel line. Thanks everone for the responds.
     
    Shade Tree and Strider Thank this.
