Reduced engine performance message V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Pete on  Fri Jun 25 05:22 CST 2021 [RELATED]

Any idea before I make a appointment to have the car scanned.
Car goes into limp mode and after restarting the engine goes back to normal engine check engine light goes on during message and after a few miles after restarting goes out!
This happened also before I had the differential rebuilt last month and now it has reappeared.
Car has 130k

This scanner is for Volvos and a reasonable price:

Keeping it running is better than buying new

It will be difficult to diagnose if the CEL turns itself off. The spark plugs may be a problem, or not. Were you at wide open throttle when this happened? If so, then it could be a 'misfire' detection.

You may want to consider buying a code reader like this one:
