2001 Volvo V70 surges while underway, surges and stalls at idle, goes into reduced performance mode (20 mph or less). Car runs normally when cold (up to 1 mile after starting in morning), then begins to surge and fail. Need to pull over to shoulder, stop engine for 3 minutes, and restart. If engine is stopped for less than 3 minutes, it restarts in 20 mph mode. This has happened daily for 2 weeks. Independent mechanic replaced ignition coil based on obd code, but problem recurred the next day. Have appointment with Volvo service department 11/22/06.

Surging, missing, skipping while idling in gear. It may surge, miss, skip while out of gear, but it is hard to detect. I have had the ETM software update and then they cleaned it. The dealer does not know what to do with it now and it is still happening. They have not yet done the Volvo campaign to replace faulty ETM's because the guidelines are strict. (someone has to die first, then they will replace it) this has been going on for over three months now.

While trying to make a left turn vehicle it stalled without warning. Indicator lights flashed across dash, and vehicle stalled. Contacted dealer, and couldn't find cause.
