Update. It appears that my problem is a bit more predictable than I thought. It only does it when its hot, and if I stop, and then restart the car quickly, like running into pay for gas, I'm fine. If I let 15 to 20 minutes go by, then it misfires. I can get it to run by feathering the trottle and af...

My problem is becoming more frequent now. It is always on startup. Yesterday I fired it up and it started bouncing around. Usually I'm able to bring the rpms up by giving it some throttle and it will work its way back to a steady idle in a few seconds and then drive normally. This time it took a bit...

Hi everyone. Trying to figure out a problem before it gets too bad. My 98 v70xc has an interesting problem. When I park the car on an unlevel surface, for example, with the passengers side on the curb and the drivers side on the road, or on the incline of a sloped driveway and I restart after a shor...

It works! Thanks everyone. Hopefully it continues.....

You understood perfectly. I'm just gonna do it. Wish me luck.

Is there a way to bench test a maf? I'm sitting here with a brand new Volvo maf and I can't bring myself to plug it in and possibly waste $$$$.

The car was less than smooth, hunting a bit. After five minutes I pulled it in and the car stalled. Thoughts? Oh and the on...

I did all that already except the distributor. Going to check fuel pressure in the morning with a gauge. Got a good squirt by depressing the shrader. I'll check the distributor cap as well. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll check. I forgot and important detail. The vacuum hose that runs from the turbo to the shroud area had popped off. Replacing it didn't help. Could caused the wastegate code?

I'm hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction. Here's whats up: A week ago the SEL came on, as well as the service light. I figured it was time for an oil change and I'd have my indy volvo mechanic check the codes at the same time. I was heading to work at 0530 and the car began t...
