Had a nice chat with a indie Volvo shop owner yesterday, and that subject came up. Before going that route, I would recommend using Techron in the fuel. He said that would help. MotorVac is a treatment with Industrial Strength cleaner.

Start this when you are planning to drive over 100 miles. Works best when engine is well heated.

When the gas gauge is in the red, add a 12 oz can of Techron. Fill tank. Drive the tank down to the red. Do it again.

Burn premium Shell or Chevron for more better additives.

Have you replaced the knock sensor?

Is the engine in time? Timing belt on correctly - not one tooth off on the intermediate shaft?

Good Luck,

Bob
