Its been about 3 years since I've owned a Volvo, but I have one now, and its the 4th one I've owned. I've never come across this problem before.
The vehicle always starts good, but was missing horribly and bucking under any type of acceleration when warm. When the car was fully warmed, and I kept pumping it to keep it alive, it would all of the sudden take off. Then it wouldn't miss a beat until it was shut off again. I replaced the dist. cap and rotor, and that didn't help much.

Any ideas?? I really don't think it is fuel related as you can smell the unburned fuel from the exhaust. And there are no stored trouble codes.
