I'm not afraid to put this out there but I'm at the end of my rope. I loved my volvo and I now hate it and its killing me.

Here is a link to my old thread about my old problem..http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/cha...698&highlight=

Sigh....
To recap
My car started to accelerate on its own one day. It would maintain 55mph with the cruise off and my foot no where near the gas pedal. Crazy I know. Imagine trying to stop at a light.

It would do this off and on until I decided to unplug the IAC. The car idled a lil low but ran fine. I could drive it for a few days with the IAC disconnected and it would eventually give me an attitude until i plugged it back up.

*Upon reconnecting the auto acceleration problem would return. I went to a local boneyard and picked up 4 (yes FOUR) IAC's and the auto drive problem came back. Although it is possible I find it very unlikely that 5 IAC's are faulty.

During this whole replacement process she sometimes wouldn't start w/o assistance. It would take so long to turn over I would need to jump cuz my battery would run down.

After a while the car would start and run fine but only with the IAC wire disconnected. Weird.

So here I sit. Stranded at my parents house because my car wont turn start. I have plenty of gas, wires are good, I'm throwing a code but more than likely thats from my disconnecting the IAC.

I can only think that its the TPS now but I dont have tons of money to toss at everything i "think it is" please guys.
I'm at teh end of my rope here and I dont know what to do.

Why wont my car start and run correctly?

think its an electrical problem. check all the grounds. a loose ground will cause this
