02 S80 2.9L non turbo with RPM question

Post by srfrgrlqt69 »

HI,
I have a 2002 S80 2.9L non turbo that when I first start the car it jumps to 2000RPM and then after about 2 minutes it drops down to about 900RPM. But lately when the gas level gets down to a little over 1/4 of a tank or less the RPM's drop down to about 500. I have had the fuel pump replaced per the recall and the spark plugs and coils are all less than a year old. I can't figure out if this is normal or if there is something wrong but I don't remember the car doing this when I first bought it 4 years ago from the original owner. Also not sure if this has anything to do with it or not but the A/C works for about an hour of highway driving and then seems to freeze or something because it will not blow cold air any more until I turn off the A/C for about 30 minutes or more. Please help with anything you can think of, I need this car to just get me through another 2 years of Med School before I can get something else. Thank you for all the help in advanced. :)

Thanks,
Kate

P.S. the car has 176K miles as of right now and most of it is highway driving.
