shaking at start and not going above 10mph
I just got a 99 Volvo from my mom. She has never had this problem. It has about 120,000 miles on it. The only thing I have done differently is drive about 600 miles in oneweekend and I filled it with regular unleaded (my mom usually uses 89 grade or 91). Occasionally, when I start it, the car will shake and then never go above 10mph. The rpms doesn't go above 1 either, no matter how hard I push on the gas pedal. If I shut the car off and start again, it sometimes returns to normal. Other times I need to restart quite a few times but once it stops shaking at start up, it runs perfectly.
Could it be the gas I put in? Any other thoughts?
Oh, and the transmission was replaced last year.
Thanks for any thoughts.

RE: shaking at start and not going above 10mph
I have the same problem with my S80, it happens alot in the morning when i start the car to go to work, it will shake, then i turn it off, count to 30, turn it on and its good., still makes me nervous as hell... but i should probably stop by the Volvo dealership and see if that recall has been performed, thanks for the tip!
