Asked by raybob0491 Feb 14, 2014 at 12:31 AM about the 1998 Volvo S70

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I'M CONSIDERING BUYING A 1998 VOLVO S70. IT HAS 3 CODES: P0300, P0303 & P0304. I'VE REPLACE SPARK PLUG IN # 3 & #4 CYLINDERS AND IT IS STILL MISFIRING AT 2000 RPMS AND LOWER. IT RUNS FINE ABOVE 2000 RPM'S. IT'S FIRING FINE AT IDLE SPEED; SO I DON'T THINK IT'S THE IGNITION. IS CODE P0300 A VACCUM LEAK? OR A SENSOR PROBLEM?

CYLINDER 3 & 4 ARE MISFIRING AND THE OLD SPARK PLUGS DID LOOK WET AND SMELLED LIKE GASOLINE. IF THE INJECTORS ARE LEAKING; WOULD THE CAR STILL RUN SMOOTH ABOVE 2000 RPMS?

Most 1998's have a cap and rotor. They are probably shot. Remove spark plug wires from engine, inspect them, replace if they have never been replaced. Use Volvo OEM (Bougicord brand) ONLY. Make sure wires are not soaked in oil. If they are, change your oil cap seal. Replace spark plugs with OEM Volvo plugs ONLY.
