OK ....... most of the time.

The only negative symptom demonstrated after it gets running and warms up - is a hesitancy at intersections - fluttering the gas pedal helps...

It can sit for 6-8 hours during the day - and starts just fine - but if it sits overnight - the next morning - starting is difficult or impossible - smells like a flood problem - so right now - it is unreliable at best.

So far - I have cleaned the AIC valve, throttle body, electrical contacts at coil, spades on coil - etc.

Removing the AMM wiring clip makes no difference.....

Replaced rotor and dist. cap.......

All christmas volvo Solutions are most welcome :)

Thanks in advance...
