    Side note: Volvo's 2 hour get you in policy prominently displayed in the service area amounts to Male bovine fecal matter..

    **update**

    Good news, EGR mass flow being replaced under warranty. No talk about crank sensor codes.but I notice 2 mechanics looking in that general area.

    Bad news part arrives tomorrow around noon..

    So, 750 miles to the house engine is still briefly cutting. Cut a few times for not more than 5 seconds.

    EGR codes gone
    Crank timing sensor came up again.

    I'll be checking the wiring tomorrow so if anyone has any suggestions or theories even crazy ones, I'm all ears.

    Since grounds are good now, check power side.
    The + cable on firewall should be removed and inspected... Cleaned up and put back

    Take it to Volvo in Joplin mo ...they were the only ones that could get my d16 to run right ...they finally hooked it up to the mainframe computer in Sweden .
    After that it got decent mpg and ate high horse cats for breakfast .
