Sound and feels like motor missing 2001 s40

Post by Guttry 64 »

Under hard acceleration my car feels like it is missing but not at idle or normal driving the car has 130000 miles on it and I got it about 2 months ago and don't really know any history on the car. I'm thinking about starting with a tune up but am unsure if there is a bigger problem that I'm not looking at I have never owned a Volvo before can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

Sounds like you have crappy plugs. Be sure to get the Bosch OEM plugs. No special 16 pronged plugs, just the OEM. Should fix your problem right away.
