[2007 S80] Problem with startup

basikos · Nov 13th, 2013, 20:00

Hi,

I have a Volvo S80 2.5T geartronic with only 60.000km. Everytime I start it up when the engine is cold, it takes an unusual long time to start up. It is like the starter is trying to start it up (engine's RPMs are at 500 rpms). If I let it start is goes to about 1.500 rpms and then it drops below 500 rpms like it is going to shut off and the whole car is bumping like it has no fuel or something like that. If I shut it off immediately after the the first phase (500 rpms) or any other time and start it up again, it starts like a charm. However, sometimes when I restart it (after the problem occures) just before the RPMs drop to idle I hear a weird sound from the engine like 2 metals rubbing on each other. I think that there is an electrical failure maybe concerning the air intake sensor? Could you please help me? I went to the Volvo dealership and they connected it to VIDA but there were no failures indicated.

I will try to make a video of the problem so you can see it better.

I should also mention that the car has done all of its regular services at the authorized Volvo dealership.
