Still having the same problem.

Spook - somehow 3 diff mechanics here don't think it's the Crank/RPM sensor. Have been changing parts to see if it makes a diff or not. Still difficult to start. ECT has been changed (showed up on diagnostic code), Air Mass sensor was changed for diagnosis, Some Fuel regulator was also changed. As the Air Mass sensor and Fuel Regulator made no diff, changed back to my original parts. Idle Valve and Throttle Body has been serviced twice, slight improvement. Gasket has been changed.

One mechanic after weeks of consultation with auth Volvo Mechanics, has noted that it may be the brake vaccuum servo at fault. Come to think of it, i have noticed that my brake pedal is feeling progressively spongy. It's gonna be changed this afternoon for diagnostic testing. HOpe this solves the problem. IT's been ongoing for too long now. Nothing drastic. Just annoying in the mornings.

Will keep you updated on the progress.
