Car won't start after replacing spark plugs!

Hi,

Thanks for the website. So while I was driving, I did notice that the car jerks quite a bit more when you release the pedal after accelerating. It jerks really bad if the car is in drive, and you tap the pedal quickly and let go. The rpm starts going up and down.

The codes seemed to suggest the TCV might be the problem. Can that be it?

Did you ever fix the 2 broken wires that I pointed out earlier?
These wires were squished when you replaced the Spark Plug Cover?

RPM going up and down could be an intermittant connection to one or more plugs where those wires got squished.

Do Volvos have anything similar to a Throttle Position Sensor like my Tacoma?
