If it run badly on damp days, try the HT leads and distr cap.

Hi, I also own a 460 from 1991 . it is indeed a multipoint injection kind but mine is a GLi . Anyhow ,last year it behaved strangly when driving at a speed lower than

90km/h it was a nightmare to drive . As the people at the Volvo-garage didn't know what it was I finally started to spray all the rubber tubes with a hairspray as I suspected a vacuum leak .As a miracle the problem was solved for about 3 weeks .Then I started too spray the tubes one by one and finally found a bent tube on the back of the motor to be the one . So I made them change the tube and it is still allright. Maybe You can try this ?
