'Cough' during idle and regular driving V70-XC70 1998

My 98 V70 has had regular maintenance performed, oil changed every 3500 miles and runs perfectly, except for a "cough" or hesitation it has developed during idle and regular speed driving. The "cough" is almost like the motor tries to die, but does not, and it happens every now and then. It doesn't matter if I am at a signal light or driving down the road. There are no fault codes showing and I am at a loss. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    a cough or a "bump"/miss? My 98V70R does that "bump/miss" every 2 or 3 days for just a split second. I was told its a software issue and there is an upgrade. I'm so cheap that it doesn't bother me nor does it affect any performance or emissions. The volvo dealers are a "last resort" for me as I do most all maintanece and work myself if possible. If I brought it in they would probab;y think I was insain anyways!!!!!!!!
