Re: 1996 Volvo 850 Wagon - all of a sudden misfire codes
Thanks for all the suggestions. The car ran fine again for a day, and then died again yesterday (on the way to soccer practice!) but the car started right up after it died, and ran fine all the way home. Brought it back to mechanic this morning, could not pull any codes out of it. So far, the only c...

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 Wagon - all of a sudden misfire codes
Ok, here is the update... Had the mechanic change the fuel filter.. (he said it did show a little dirt and junk in it) Mechanic checked to make sure none of the wires were touching each other (as stated in previous posts) everything looked fine. I did have the Bosch platinum plugs in the car, so had...

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 Wagon - all of a sudden misfire codes
Ok, I have spent most of the evening reading threads about misfires..... I am hoping that my issue is one of the following: Fuel filter - gunk as stated in my first post Spark plugs - I know they are Bosch, but not sure if they are platinum or copper.... I suspect they might be platinum - I am sure ...

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 Wagon - all of a sudden misfire codes
Would an electrical part failure have a sudden onset? I have never had any problems with this car until helping my brother move, and parking the car on a hill at a pretty good incline... Just want to know for when I go to the mechanic in the morning, he is changing my fuel filter, and if that doesn'...

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 Wagon - all of a sudden misfire codes
Hi, thanks for the reply... Prior to the misfiring, I don't think I have had the hood open in at least a couple weeks.... I had the oil changed 2 weeks ago, had the flame trap changed, and the mechanic used OEM oil filter and flame trap when he did the job. I am praying that it is the fuel filter li...

1996 Volvo 850 Wagon - all of a sudden misfire codes
Good afternoon, I have a question regarding my 1996 Volvo Wagon. I was helping my brother move yesterday, we parked the car in his front yard (so we could load the wagon with boxes). The wagon was parked on a hill, front end facing downhill. We loaded the car with several boxes, and as I was driving...
