Starts fine, however if you turn it off, and start it again, wont start, wait a bit then will start.

Codes are P0120, P0172, P0440. While in park idling sounds terrible, starts ticking. Can ya'll point me to what problem is causing codes, what to check first, etc.

SOURCE: can't shift out of park

It's possible the shift lock solenoid, the wiring, or the fuse is bad.

SOURCE: My 2000 Volvo XC 70 won't start once in a while.

I have the same problem with a 2004 Volvo C70. It will start sometimes, then not. Turns over, rpms go up, then dies. I keep trying and maybe it will start, or wait 10-15 min. I have changed the Antenna Ring, bought a new key and programmed it at dealer, and still have the issue. Its been happening so long, that i have figured that its not a cold/warm weather issue, not battery, not starter (it cranks). Any suggestions would be very welcom.

SOURCE: speedometer sudenly stoppped working

P0171 indicates a lean condition. The most common cause of this is a defective mass air flow sensor. Also check if any vacuum leaks.Replace MAf sensor,if cleaning the MAF does not help.
OBD II P0172 Fuel System Too Rich (Bank 1).P0172 - System Too Rich (Bank 1) Essentially this DTC means that an oxygen sensor in bank 1 detected a rich condition.
When the code says that the Fuel System is "too rich," it means that the computer has been subtracting more and more fuel, which is called Long Term Fuel Trim. Ideally, the Long Term Fuel Trim should be close to 1 to 2 percent. When a code P0172 is set, it means that the Fuel Trim is anywhere from -15 percent to as low as -30 percent compensated. When this happens, the computer knows that there is an improper condition in the control of the Fuel System.


Thanks.

How can i repair faulty codes P1320 ,P0172 ,P0120 ,P0605 ,P1123 P0175 ON Nissan XTRAIL

Hi,

Check all engine fuses and replays. With multiple codes the cause is often a common power feed failure.

What will make my truck shut off while driving. The truck runs well, will shut off without indication. I can start it back in neutral or park, sometimes it will turn over once or twice then start.

its a brake failure system problem

those codes say
hey this truck doesn't have a working abs brake system
STOP this truck

abs module could be a leaky or failed pressure valve
wheel sensors ..dirty or insulation cracked

no rear speed signal is generated as abs system fails

P0440-Evap Emissions. code of is a different issue

1996 Volvo GLT 2.0 valve, got two codes need to know what to do to fix them P0440, P0172.

code p 0440 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system---malfunction===causes ---hose connections ---intake leak---EVAP canister purge valve
probably the purge valve needs replacing

code p 0172 refers to system too lean, bank 1===causes --intake blocked , EVAP canister purge valve ---fuel pressure ---EGR system---injector/s HO2S
you will notice that the purge valve is in both codes and it also affects the fuel pressure by not venting the tank correctly
That will account for the fuel pressure problem
I would seek advice from an accredited service specialist that works on your type of car but I would be paying attention to the common fault ( purge valve) before any thing else

2001 buick century runs fine when in park and nutral i can put it in drive and sometime i can go 10k sometimes only get 1k the it starts spudering and wont rev up but will idle fine put it in nutral and...

I think you have an engine speed sensor fault. its not reading the engine speed or the motion speed. needs these two to change speed and ( gear). one is connected to the abs unit and the other is on the engine. usually if they both go its down to the gear box ecu. you can check if you have it on a ecu reader. will have fault codes or not be read at all.

Electrical. wont re-start unless cold.

You probably have some corrosion on your battery terminals. Make sure they are clean and connected good and tight.
