2000 Volvo C70 Engine cooling Problems

“My 2000 Volvo C70 had a throttle issue. Many times before the engine would turn off immediately when first started. Recently, I would give the engine gas and the engine would rattle and falter. The engine would rattle worse when the AC was turned on.”

“I was driving my 2000 Volvo C70 up a hill 80 miles into a road trip and the car lost power and could not accelerate. The check engine light did not come on and I thought gas was not getting to the engine, I pulled off got gas, then proceeded back on the highway, then the same thing happened. I pulled off the road and there was smoke coming out the tail pipe and under the hood, also there was oil all over the place. There was still no warning light indicator and the car was now idling rough and skipping so I drove 1 mile to a service station. I had the car towed 80 miles back to my home. …”
