check engine light 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be mark on  Sat Nov 18 06:14 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I recently changed out my sparkplugs (Bosch with 4ok on them). I put in NGK this time per IPD recomendation. The old plugs were obviously black on the tips like the car was running too rich. I put in a can of fuel system cleaner and thought that would help. The next day, the car experienced a loss of power and I traced the problem to a fuel fouled #2 sparkplug. I dried the plug, reinstalled and drove the car hard for ten miles, all seemed ok. Next day the check engine light came on but no driving problems. Today my wife reported driving problems much like another fouled plug. I am 120 miles from nearest Volvo shop and would appreciate any help keeping my car running past its current 160k.
