Idling rough, shaking over 50...

Post by gsharier »

Hi everyone, I am new to this site. My 2000 xc70, 133,000 Miles, starting idling rough today. It’s also shaking between 50-60. When I turned left, it made a funny noise almost like the ABS was kicking in (and I just replaced the abs module btw). It also felt like it could be accelerating a little weakly. The check engine light has stayed on. Last time I read the code it was for an EVAP leak, small one... but it’s been staying on for good last 2-3 months. Any idea why it would be idling rough or shaking between 50-60 and making noises when I’m turning? It’s definitely noticeable and I’m hoping to get it to my Volvo mechanic tomorrow without trouble. Sucks, I love this car but need to sell it as I’m moving... but it’s hard to unload it when it’s acting like this! I’m hoping it’s not a huge fix. Thank you!!!

Really need to read the engine code(s) to help you. Could be a bad ignition coil on a cylinder or bad plug, but need to know the codes as there are many things it could be.

Not sure the noises are related to the rough running, but are your engine mounts good, especially the one under the crank pulley?
