I had my 1990 740 GLE into a small Volvo shop for repairs - I had changed the air filter, they put ina new distributor cap, wires, air mass meter. Got it back and it runs very rough, wants to idle down around 600 and stall, and gets really bad fuel mileage. Shifts late and a little hard, too. Runs fine on highway, but still with bad gas mileage.

I am short of cash for a month, after this last trip tothe mechanics ($700 - needed some other non-engine work as well)so I am looking for things I can check or change, or some idea of what this might be.

Thanks!
Brian
