Hesitation when accelerating

JBC · Post by **JBC** » 24 Mar 2011, 09:12

I have a 1998 V70 GLT. 155k. Just had the turbo rebuilt, new vacuumlines, new wheel bearing all four corners. Did it all myself, except I sent the turbo out for professional rebuild. Anyway, I have this hesitation that seems random when I hit the accelerator. I happens and I don't get codes. I did get codes on a start up with a crankcase sensor (335 I think), with some misses on cyliner codes 300,304. What might be happening?

Crankshaft sensor? That could do it. That's located just above the flywheel (flex plate, or whatever it's called on an automatic) by the transmission.

THanks, I think I will replace it and do a tune up (plugs, cap, etc.). I heard that you should only use Volvo plugs and nothing else. Do you agree?

The Volvo plugs are ridiculously expensive. Get your hands on some Bosch Copper plugs ($1.50 each) and gap them to .028". I believe NAPA, maybe Autozone sells them - I know for a fact that Advance does not.

If you're going to be replacing wires, use only Bougicord wires.

They totally were; I don't know how they go about making the decisions for that, but they're a bunch of idiots. I mean, beating that evil, much hated #1 team from my hometown had to count for something, right?

Yes, I think they, Duke, will when the Champ game and it will vindicate the Hokies.

The Volvo plugs are expensive, but IMHO worth the money for a daily driver. Especially if you buy 1 of the tuneup kits from IPD or FCP that includes, plugs, wires, rotor, cap, etc.
