Hoorah!!!!!!

After 4 long months of struggling with the Volvo --- I fixed the rough
idle (stall) problem, that hurt the tranny and cause all of my
problems!

I am SO happy, my car runs like a bat out of hell!

Here's what I did, and it was a series of things so I can't say for
sure BUT!

After cleaning the AMM connectors, opening the air box valve to shut
out exhaust and let in cool air, the thing I think did the most was
this:

I removed the distributor from the motor (not completely, but enough to
inspect it.) I cleaned the connector with throttle body cleaner, and
went to re-seat the distributor. While bolting in the two bolts I heard
a pop. I thought, hmmm, I must have seated the o-ring.

I bolted the 2 bolts and it wouldn't start. Crap! So I thought a while
and then unbolted the distributor, and twisted it and VOILA - it
seated. It was not sealing against the engine. I tightened the bolts,
fired her up and she idled SO WELL, like at 1000-1200 RPM. I pumped the
throttle and she ran, ran ran.

So, on the test drive she took off out the gate for the first time
since I owned her. Shifted well, ran strong, like a new car!!!

I am so pumped.

The only thing I broke was while attempting to remove the connector
from the bottom of the distributor, the connector came loose from the
body. I applied gasket seal and held it with tie wraps. I'll need to
attend to that later.

What do ya'll think???

Is a mis-seated distributor enough to cause a vacuum leak. There was
oil leaking around the bottom of the distributor before.
