Q: Chech Engine light keeps coming on

asked by on May 19, 2016

When my engine light started coming on, I noticed whenever I attempted to excel, it would hesitate or stall for a second as though I lost power. It started about 2 weeks ago and happening more frequently. I took it to a mechanic who does not specialize with Volvos, but did a diagnostic that says it's my fuel regulator sensor. However, when I tried to find that part, I couldn't find it. So my question is could the diagnosis be wrong or the part called something else, or maybe I don't know where to look. I checked FCP Euro parts (specializes in Volvo parts). It couldn't be found. My car is a: 2007 S60 2.5t.

My car has 162496 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hi, thanks for writing in. Water pumps will wear out eventually (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-water-pump). Replacing them is very important to the lifespan of your vehicle (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-a-water-pump-auxiliary-last). Temperature gauges in vehicles are largely misunderstood. They will only give you accurate readings if they...
