    I have a 2005 Volvo vnl with d12 engine and 10 speed manual fuller .
    The truck runs perfect for 30 min and then all of the sudden starts misfiring and idling really rough like it wants to die, and then I shut the truck off literally for one minute, and it starts right up and drives perfect again for 20 min or more and then again back to running like crap. Put new fuel filters and it still does it , any ideas please need your input. Took it to local Volvo mechanic he told me that ECM needs updates , but I highly doubt it .
     
    Oldironfan Thanks this.

    Thanks for advice, do I need to replace the whole wire harness or just the wires that go to ECM
    and do you think my injectors are good

    The injectors may be good, but the injector harness may have issues which is causing the misfires.

    I would suggest replacing the whole engine harness, as it will eliminate any chances of having another short or problem with the rest of the original harness.

    If the problem you described still persists than you can eliminate the wiring harness as the root cause.

    Last time the filters and separator was cleaned? Always start with the easiest and cheapest to fix.

    Ecm harness life is lucky to get near 10 years.
