Volvo horns to misha, with a small set to me...

Another one solved by Volvo plugs and Bougicord wires.

Isn't DOHC Latin for Decadus on Headus Cylinderus....10 Valves?

No way. Slightly longer. It fits along the grooves however the bolt holes don't line up and the oil filler cutout has an unsighlty gap.

Volvo gave up its safety advantage starting about 15-20 years ago when advanced computer modeling for crash simulation became widespread. Now even the lowest Hyundai is decent at safety. Computer modeling leveled the playing field among car companies. Not really... computer modeling made things bet...

Here's a video of a P80 vs new V70 crash test (the one June is mentioning a few post above). I think the old one stands up pretty well.... https://youtu.be/so2wJJPge88 According to a major swedish insurance company, investigating 170 000 accidents, the P80 is,still in 2017, 20-39% safer than the ave...

Disconnect Maf connector,start the car and test drive it.If problem disappears...Maf is bad. Other than that...could be a HUGE vacuum leak or FPR failure. But,let's go one step at a time...cheapest things first! :wink: *Ding Ding Ding* we have a winner. Mechanic finally got to my car, MAF was bad, ...

Please, Sommerfeldt and Misha, try to keep up the good conversations we're used to in this forum. There are tons of forums out there for insults.
