My '98 S70 has intermittent hard starting. The starter spins the motor every time, but sometimes the motor will not quite begin to run. Then it starts suddenly and runs fine. 145,000 miles, complete ignition system tune up about 20,000 miles ago.
The intermittent hard starting issue seems to occur with morning cold starts.
Injectors and all sensors are original. Motor has good compression and good power, idles smooth, runs great, except for the intermittent hard starting.

Hi guest
Yes, my comment is that these Volvo's, nice cars as they are, seem to need frequent and expensive maintenance. I have a 98 S-70 base model, now with about 82K miles, runs great, handles nice, but I am getting fearful of huge repair bills around the corner. Maybe sell the thing and get a nice Toyota Camry/Honda Accord/Mazda 6 or if I feel rich, a low end Lexus or Accura.
