When I push the gas pedal my 01 Volvo S80 T6 hardly accelerates, I can also try to speed up to pass a car and the pedal can be on the floorboard and still will not accelerate. Eventually it will get to the 2000rpm then it will finally go fast. Once it has past that it works just fine no jumping puttering or anything. I have replaced the Catalyitc converters already. Any ideas?

SOURCE: volvo s80 t6 shifting problem

The cheap fix: Speed sensor connected to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). That screws up the engine control module and could throw you into limp home mode. Expensive fix: Transmission control module. Start with the speed sensor. Suggest that to your mechanic and get a second opinion before changing out the TCM. It's a simple plug and swap, but the module is expensive. I bought a spare on Ebay for my Volvo for $10. The TCU, I believe, lives under the right front kick panel, at least that's where it is on my 740.

SOURCE: When I try to accelerate my car has no power!

There could be a couple of reasons. Yes a tune up would be nice. But my not fix the problem. If you are not losing acceleration on straight away but on hill, then it could be the torqe converter. Also have your MASS airflow sensor checked and air filter.

Also check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Get a fuel gauge and look for a port on the fuel rail for a port that looks like the valve on the tire. Screw it in and crank the car. You will have to call the part store to find out what pressure it is supposed to be. If there is low or eratic pressure the its the filter or pump

SOURCE: squishy brake feel with long pedal travel but brakes stop the car

You have to remove the air trapped in the hydraulic system. Look at change of brakefluid in a repair handbook and perform it as described.

Useful to change the brakefluid at least once every five years anyway.

01 volvo s80 t6 2.8 surging at idle and hard brake pedal. Could a missing or bad gasket on the electronic throttle module cause this problem

The power brake booster runs on engine vacuum to provide the power assist. Since it surges at idle and you mention that hard brake pedal application causes the surge as well, along with the knowledge that the engine was recently replaced, I'd be looking for a vacuum leak somewhere.

If you had the engine installed by a reputable shop, you should take it back to them assuming it started doing this just after the engine was installed. If they have a smoke machine for locating vacuum leaks, that should make the search even easier.
