Volvo: 85 740 engine miss when cold, bad cap, rotor

Question
I have a non turbo 740 wagon that has a bad miss when it is cold. it also races when first started and sometimes dies but only when cold

Answer
Sam,
Engine miss, bad cap, rotor, wires, plugs, injector, weak cylinder, etc. So many possibilities. Get the car to a Volvo shop so it can stay overnight and be started in the morning. Better even if you could also be there in the AM so you can show the tech you conserns. Testing will have to be done, so leave the car after the repair so the shop will get a chance to start it in the cold.
