V70: - TPS/Pedal Position Sensor Code P0225

taz21 · Jul 16th, 2015, 03:24

I had the same code pop up on my 2000 V70, along with the ETS light on since I bought it. It only just started running rough with the check engine light on. I used an OBD2 sensor to get the P0225 code, along with the following codes P0303 (3rd cylinder misfire) and P1670 (immobilizer aerial contacts needing cleaning). As for the throttle body, it already has the 2nd gen throttle body with the yellow sticker, so assuming the improvement is needed, I was considering getting the Contactless Sensor from ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Contactless-...f54976&vxp=mtr) but the ebay seller says I shouldn't consider this unless I'm seeing one of the following codes: P0120 or P0121. I'm sure I can handle doing the work as long as it's a simple matter of some soldering, heat resistant caulking compound, and the few screw drivers, torques bits, and locktite. I'm confident in doing the work, not confident in it being the right move if there are better options... any suggestions? Thanks!
