I have just a slight miss on my 92 244 (automatic). I never notice it when I'm acceleration. But when at idle, it might miss just once every 3 mins or so.. the engine service light will just flash for a half a second, if that. Also when i get off the gas, like going down hill the engine service light flashes on and off real quick.

It does this when its cold and it does it when its hot. My ignition is all new, plugs, wires, cap & button & coil all the vacuum lines look good. It has never stalled, it starts very easy hot or cold. it is just starting to annoy me, this car is about to see alot of miles on it about 150 a day. i would hate to have it lay down on the side of the road, but maybe i will have to wait it out till whatever the problem is finally gives.

I would think it is something simple, because the car does run good, plenty of power or as much as i expect from a Volvo. If it wasn't for that little flash, you could barely tell the miss...

I'm about out of clues on what to look for, any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Tom
