Hesitating on Acceleration from stop 850 1993

My 93 850 GLT every once in awhile will hesitate when accelerating from a dead stop. It doesn't happen all the time, some days are worst then others. At a stop light when I go to take off I will press down the gas and nothing will happen for a second or two then it kicks in or it will start to take off and then kind of cut out a little then kick in. Sometimes I can press the pedal all the way to the floor and the engine doesn't rev or anything for that split second. It doesn't seem to matter if it is cold or hot. Does anyone know what might be wrong with my car?

Thanks,

    Last tune up? Last time BG44K in the gas (twice a year)?

      Last tune up was at 120k which was 10k ago. What is BG44K? I am pretty sure I personaly havn't put any of that in the gas.

        Ok, this is a longshot, but check the rubber vacuum elbows in the engine compartment... (Near the throttle, there's a plastic cover, remove that 1 T25 torx i think, and under there are like 5-7 rubber elbows) See if they're all soft and mushy now.... I think there's something about this at the volvospeed website...http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/vacuum_lines.htm.... Maybe?

        It's worth a look, and they're easy to replace....


        Good Luck!
