1988 240 Sedan intermittant loss of acceleration 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be jfiene on  Sun Feb 16 05:16 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 1988 Volvo 240 with 180k that is experiencing an intermittant loss of acceleration. This used to happen rarely but since I installed new plugs, cap, rotor, checked wires and installed a new fuel filter, it happens regularly. As the loss of acceleration is occuring, additional throttle provides only engine bogging. Speed will top out at 40mph. I can temporarily solve the problem by shutting down the car and restarting. Occasionally I can continue along shifting through the gears and the problem will stop.

Throughout the forum I have found 11 seperate culprits. Unfortunately none of these solutions seem to mimic my problem exactly.

Could you all kindly provide some advise?
