Hey Guys ...I have a 2002 Vovlo s60 that cuts off when I am negotiating a corner. After I come to a complete stop I start it and it starts right up. I have realized if I drive around corners without removing my foot completely off the gas it does not cut off. Also the idling seems fine until when I slow down and press on the brakes I get a little more vibration that is not normal....I took it to two mechanics and they say there seems to be nothing wrong.
so any ideas? any suggestions are welcome!!!!

Have the PCV system checked to see if it is plugged up and have it scanned for codes. To check the PCV you need a manogram vacuum gage you insert to the oil dipstick tube and check for vacuum. Min specification is -0.2kpa or lower. If it is higher then that then the PCV system is plugged up. Would recommend you take it in to Volvo. If you have a problem with the electronic throttle module it is covered under the 10 year/200,000 mile warranty.
