Ok, here's a off-BMW question for Roland...
2001 Volvo V70 T5 with the auto-tranny and 85K miles.
Car pulls great up to about 4K RPMs and then it slows on acceleration.
Cannot pull to redline and upshifts below the 4K are needed to continue accelerating (slowly) at highway speeds.
Ideas, suggestions, or things to look over are greatly appreciated.

How does it idle?
Check the coil packs and boots for cracks/deterioration. Check the plugs to make sure they're gapped right (.026" for tarbos).
Sounds like it's misfiring.
Edit: obviously pull any codes too. Fuel supply would be my next stop if you can't find anything wrong with the ignition, but I've never had fuel problems with either of my T5s or regular 5 cylinders.Last edited by Roland H; 08-27-2011, 04:24 PM.

What else to look / test for Roland?
