Mark;

The plugs did not "foul" up like the old ones I pulled out. I finally got it started again and it ran decent with more throttle input, yet idled very poorly and appeared to be rich. Well I took it to the dealer and they tested the thing over and over. They claim that the new plugs I put in (Bosch Plat. 4) are no good for turbo charged volvos. The 4 grounding prongs are no good, they claim. So they threw some OEM plugs in it and they say it runs great. I will pick it up tonight.

Well I opened up the air intake pipe and found some good amounts of wet oil on the interior surface of the tubing. The dealer claims it is a normal amount. Man I would think that much is a bad thing, but what do I know.

Thanks again Mark. Here's to crossing fingers it is as simple as spark plugs. ;)
