Just an Update.

Went back to mechanics. He was kind enough to look at for free for me.

He still was unable to figure it out and recommended another Volvo mechanic who has some mechanics that have been there since the 80's.

He checked all vacuum lines, checked the distributor cap said it looked good an had no cracks. He did clean the contacts. Checked CPS and various other things.

He did note that he thought my idle was too low (around 600rpm) especially for the elevation. ( Im in Denver) HE said it was hard to adjust idle on Regina system though without it going crazy. HE was able to bump it up about 40 rpm.

SO it did drive a little better. It seemed like it took longer (amount of time driving) for the stutter to come back and it wasnt as bad as when it stuttered before.

It may just be because the idle is a little faster or my imagination. Maybe the cleaning of the distributor cap helped a bit??? ( I plan on putting a new one on just to be sure)

Any thoughts?
