Engine cuts out under hard acceleration S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark on  Mon May 2 03:24 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have the same exact problem with my 98 V70 GLT. The engine will cut out at 4500rpm+.Especially between 1st and 2nd. I own thought is the engine is over-reving and the rev limiter is cutting off the spark.
Is there a electronic shift timimng module on this car?
I also have a problem with it not kicking down to 2nd at about 55mph it will only kick down to 3rd.
I have 84k on the car and have had a major service at 60k fron the dealer. problem started at about 75k. I change my own oil in between(every 5k).
When should I replace the brake rotors? Or should I just keep making sure the pads never get low enough to do damage? None of the rotors are warped or squeling.

I need all the help I can get on this shft thing. It really questions the reliabilty of the car(not to mention that it is my wifes car). I am not a rookie to car repair but this one has me baffled. I do not think it could be a mechanical problem. I am guessing electrical.

Love the wagon Black on Black-rare combo.
