V70 suddenly not starting. Now fine. V70-XC70 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be OldVolvoUser on  Sat Feb 22 20:03 CST 2014 [RELATED]

The day before yesterday, I drove my V70 and parked in at home as per usual.

Yesterday, my husband and I drove his OLDer Volvo to go look at another Volvo as we're hoping to get a slightly newer one.

When we got home, I went to start my V70 and it would start. It'd make the cranking noise, but not actually start at all.

Today we tried jumping it. No such luck. Kept trying to start it about 20 times and FINALLY it started, but was idling very rough. Turned it off, and started it again .... fine, but rough.

After talking to my dad, we determined to replace the spark plugs. It's starting beautifully for now and not idling rough at all and has more spunk on accelerating.

What is going on here? Is there something else I should be worried about or should I be safe to drive it and NOT worry about that happening again?
