you're possibly running too much boost all of the sudden?

maybe a crack developed in your wastegate vacuum line?

crack in the wastegate vaccuum line...hmm...

How strong is the coil itself? Volvo coils are pretty indestructible but you never know...

I got Jean Claude showing up today maybe he'll have an answer..
Give me your damn car and take a loaner.
I think the coil maybe crapping the bed.

It's behaving now though...I spent my entire drive home driving in ways that would make Raz go "WOOHOO!" (sorry hun, but its true!) and trying to get the car to misfire.

No dice.

Maybe I should wait til it does it a bit more...consistantly? Cause I mean, really, if I bring the car in while its behaving, and the problem can't be replicated just yet....I don't wanna waste everybody's time.

When the Hell's Angels had their clubhouse just off Shepard rd., I suggested to a guy he leave his car there with the keys on the roof, and claim that he went into the gas station next door but lost his keys somewhere, and had to get a ride home.
