Weird power problem, redux 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Al Mattei on  Fri Jan 18 04:15 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a 1983 Volvo DL with 333,000 miles on it. In recent weeks, I have replaced the following: spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the air mass meter in order to cure a non-start problem that occurred in December.

Since then, the car has started up and run just fine -- until the car is at normal operating temperature (somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes running continuously).

The car wants to stall; there is a couple of hiccups and the car either stalls out or continues running. Sometimes I can feel it wanting to stall and I just hammer the gas pedal and it doesn't conk out.

It does not matter whether the car is at a light or is going 55 miles an hour on the highway; it seems to want to stall out -- and it did once at cruising speed, which I don't want to experience again!
