Q: 1990 Volvo 740 idles roughly
The car has a turbo engine. It has been idling very rough. The RPMs would erratically increase and decrease. I had a new head gasket installed. I replaced the spark plugs with new ones as well as the spark plug wires, rotor and cap. It sometimes feels as if the car would stall. I had the vacuum lines checked as well. Do you have any suggestions?
