Now, if you get over 25mph and shift to "L", the car will go into 2nd and stay there until you go below 25mph (when it shifts to 1st gear). 2nd gear will let you get to 65mph easily and spin those valves, and blow out a little carbon.

Leave the radio off, so you can listen to the sweet music the engine produces.

With all of the money you "saved", buy some Volvo OEM spark plugs. The plug wires have month and year stamped on them, check if they are original. The cap and rotor should be changed with the plugs, or at least inspected. The rotor needs a very small hex tool to get off.
