Where is ambient temperature sensor?
This is not a direct answer.
The ambient temp sensor location is different from car to car based on Make Model year and engine.
This sensor is located to measure the air temperature so the engine injection, anti-lock brakes, transmission shift and safety features all work.
On most Pontiac Fieros this sensor is mounted on the air cleaner and is called the "intake air temp sensor"
On many Dodge pick up trucks it is mounted in front of the radiator.

Volvo S40 idle surges when stopped?
I am in the midst of this repair myself. Oddly enough, this is caused by a faulty Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) sensor. It sits right up in the front of the engine compartment, passenger side, adjacent to a coolant hose. It costs $50 for the part but the shop wanted to charge $210. It is difficult to get at but manageable. Good Luck.

How do you unlock a Volvo radio?
If the radio is showing "code", you should have a code with the paperwork for the car, if not, call a Volvo dealer and give them the vin number, they can look it up and you just enter it using the preset radio buttons. This has to be done any time you disconnect the battery for extended amount of time or remove radio. When I called the dealer to get my code, I had to fax a copy of the registration and my ID to prove I owned the car and it wasn't stolen. Just a heads up.

To remove a defective bulb:

- Remove the plastic cover over the bulb (1) by turning it counterclockwise.
- Remove the connector (2).

Changing the Low beam headlights on a Volvo S60 2.5T
It will take you at least one hour to complete this bulb replacement. Although the Volvo manual tell you to release the retaining spring there is no spring to release on the 2005 Volvo S60 2.5 T
First start with the driver side you will need to remove the air filter and it housing. After removing the filter pull up hard on the housing and it will release from the three snaps. This will give you easy access to the low beam headlight.
Remove the rubber cover and reach in to the cavity and turn the bulb assembly to the right a quarter turn if you are in front of the car. Gently pull the bulb out with the connecter attached. Make sure the orange gasket come out with the assembly.
Disconnect the connector from the defective bulb and connect it to the new bulb assembly. Insert the new bulb into the cavity and line up the three prongs, look thru the lens to make sure it is lined up properly then make a quarter turn to the left. Put back on the rubber cover and the filter housing.
On the passenger side all you have to remove is the rubber cover and use that same procedure to replace and replace the bulb assembly.
Why is your Volvo s40 hard to start?
check the vacuum lines leading from the fuel pump regulator if those are not leaking then it could be the regulator itself.
The check engine light means that there is something not going right with the engine, but it may not be serious. Take it to Auto Zone or a small shop with the capability to read out the ODBII codes rather than go to the dealer. They'll plug it in and be able to tell you what error triggered the check engine light. I've had my light come on twice, neither time was it a serious problem. The first time was due to bad fuel, the second a minor electrical short in the air intake temperature sensor.
