2004 S80 2.5t pulsing engine
I recently bought this car with 170,000 miles on it. Everything worked great during the test drive and the next week. A couple of days ago i noticed that while in gear the engines idle will pulse but the rpms don't go up. If i put into neutral no more pulsing engine. Any ideas what this means? This is my first Volvo and it is for my kids to use and i want them to be safe. Thanks for any help.

The moves and drives. The guy i bought it from was a retired mechanic and took good care of it. He had the 100,000 mile service done late, recently. I am wondering if it might be the gas i put in it? I filled it up with 87 octane and then read the Manuel when i got home and saw that is the min and they recommend 91. I filled it up with 91 yesterday and am taking 180 mile trip today. I know my description is vague but there isn't much else to describe it. While in gear it acts like i am tapping on accelerator with my other foot on the brake. While driving no lurching, it is smooth. In neutral no "pulsing".
