rough on acceleration & check engine light V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be kcarl on  Tue Jul 19 00:34 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Due to the fact that problems appear to occur when the engine torque is increased, I would tend to suspect the problem is related to your ignition system, i.e., plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, plugs. If you have around 100k or more and any of these parts are original, change them out regardless of your code. For a car this age, I would also replace the fuel filter and closely check vacuum hoses. These are simple things you can do yourself and save a bundle.

good luck
