I am from Pennsylvania, now running through Pompano Beach Florida. All of the sudden I am feeling a miss on one cylinder. I can smell gas so I think it may be plug related. Any suggestions for a shop down here that can fix it quickly? The car runs, but I surely am not driving it back to PA like this.
After thought- my mechanic replaced the MAF a few weeks ago, even though it seemed the engine was running fine. Is this a possible cause? Went the last 1500 miles OK.

 

Does the car have a Check Engine Light? If so, which it should if it is a miss fire, get the code checked and go from there. It could be an issue with the MAF if it was not an OEM unit.

 

Bad coil according to his Swedespeed post.

 

Yes it was an ignition coil. Should I have replaced all 5 of them?
The Volvo Stop in Pompano is a good choice if you are in the area and need help.

 

I am replacing the other 4 coils and the plugs this week. The car has 156,000 miles on it now. I bought it at 152,000. I guess that is a testament to my confidence in Volvos, right? One owner, garage kept, lady driven, absolutely stock. I love this freakin' car. Especially when it's warm and the top is down.

 

What year is the car? When was the timing belt last replaced?
