You guys rock. When I finally slowed down and looked and saw that it read
4 3 1 2 on the distributor cap, it worked great.
Since we are here, can I ask one more question? I have had a problem over the last 18 months or so. When I have the air conditioning on, blowing from the face vents, any time there is a load on the motor, the air stops coming from the vents. I have talked to a couple of Volvo people (one Volvo dealer, one independent Volvo shop and they both want to replace the bellows for the air box. Both have said it requires removing the dash, and putting it back. The dealer mechanic (and it seems to be substantiated here) said I would probably break 30-40% of the plastic pieces if I tried it, since it is 14 years old (and has not been garage kept for the last 7). Could the need for a tuneup have been causing vacuum shortages, making it seem as if the bellows were leaking? (for that point, when I pulled the plugs the gap was at least .055, no where close to the .028-.032 that was recommended. The distributor cap and rotor button were about the worst I have ever seen). When I test drove it this afternoon, it seemed like it behaved a little better, that is why I ask. If that has nothing to do with it, would an auxiliary vacuum canister help? I HATE the thoughts if paying $85 an hour for some mechanic to pull the dash, to fix a $45 part. Or, in your experience, is it something else? I know, that was multiple questions, please forgive me.
