Volvo S80 Cutting out
|

I have a 1999 Volvo S80 2.4 SE Auto with just over 100,000.00 miles on the clock. My problem is that when the car slows down to stop, my revs drop down to around 500rpm and the engine sometimes cuts out. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how I fix it.

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
