yes, press "eco" button. so the car accelerate and drive gently and throttle body error wont show up often
btw you got 2 nice cars, can you please compare 9-4 aero vs 9-5, which one is better and why, on every parameter.

They're each different and I am a sedan guy so it makes it harder but I must admit that the 9-4x is a much funner car to drive. It wants to lunge forward, it is very peppy, very maneuverable. I would dare say it accelerates faster than the 9-5 although I don't believe that is true in theory.

The fact that this last feature is missing from the 9-5 is very disappointing. All-in-all I like both cars and they each satisfy a different need. I previously had a Turbo X Manual which I crashed/totaled. I miss that car from the standpoint of its aesthetics and sportiness but it was small and uncomfortable to drive, particularly for business.

9-4X Mass Air Flow Sensor Error P0101
So I finally got my OBD2 reader and plugged it in since I got my CEL on again. First time I brought it to Boston Volvo and they told me there were no codes, just old stuff that they cleared out. When it came back, decided it was time for my own investigation. So it is a P0101. I take it that replacing a TB is not easy and I should just take it to Boston Volvo . . . suggestions anyone?

I have replaced my throttle body my self in the garage with hand tools. Its not difficult and can be easily done DIY. Obviously if you have no mechanical ability just take it to the dealer but over all its not a hard task.

Thanks for the details!
This thread is going to be a lifesaver. Had it in to dealer twice and now can't pass emissions, plates expired.
Spoke to dealer service and they're ordering a throttle body which can be replaced under my warranty. Fingers crossed, but it sounds like that will solve the problem! So tired of clearing those codes to get my remote start to work...
