I recently purchased a beautiful 1986 760 GLE Turbo - the car has 159K on it, but engine was replace with a new factory unit at 91K.

When I bought the car I was told it needed a new Hall unit in the distributor. On the drive home it would miss, backfire, stall at highway speeds, when at lights, etc. I would restart when needed. It got me home (about 40 miles. It starts in the driveway fine and moves around fine.

Today I replaced the distributor with a used but working unit and took off on a test drive. The car ran beautifully for the first few miles, then I noticed some hiccupps, and as the car got warmer the problems started acting up again the same as the drive home.

What would you think my next course of action should be? I am somewhat mechanical, but not a gearhead or anything.

The car ran fabulously until it warmed up. Would love to find a Volvo gearhead in the Pittsburgh PA area.
