Okay...I'm joining the club. Just bought a nice base model '99 V70 w/ 110k. I've been driving it 40 miles a day to work and its a great car. It does need an ABS module which i'll send out to Victor for repair.
So, what's the problem? I washed it up real nice today and gave the engine bay a quick 5 second rinse. It looks much better BTW. I jumped in the car a few hours later and it is running rough. Pulling away from a stop sign the car shudders and stumbles. Come to the next stop sign and it will idle roughly while your stopped.
I turned around, went home and pulled the coils off the spark plugs figuring they would be wet.....BONE DRY. Hmmnnn....well i vaccume the plug wells out just to be sure and put everything back together. I thought i'd hit the highway and get the car warm to dry it out. Car still misses throughout the rev range....pulling away from a stop is still terrible. I did notice that while stopped at a traffic light if I put the car in Neutral (Auto Trans) the stumbling lets up quite a bit. It doesn't completely stop but it becomes hardly noticeable.
So, what did I break, and how much is this going to cost!?
