V70 with 215K appears to misfire V70-XC70

Hi Tom,

Odd how it misses more after motor mount replacement. Check grounds.
Take apart the nest of wires at the battery positive terminal, shine up
and use conductive grease or Penetrox-A.
Maybe a loose ECU signal ground wire (2) at the intake manifold?

You might look at the plugs carefully to see if there's any clue for which
cylinder /s is missing. Check the plug gap.
You can do a compression test while the plugs are out.

Since you inherited this problem, I'd service all of the ignition connectors.
Clean with isopropyl 90% and a soft toothbrush, blow out with air and inspect the
female connector pins, maybe you have some damaged/spread pins?
Adjust or replace any bad pins. Get connector parts at www.davebarton.com
While you're at it, look at the AMM, and CPS connectors.
Use Penetrox-A on the pins. Corrosion and / or loose connector pins
for fussy shielded wire engine sensors invite trouble.

Good luck, Bill
