For context: I am relatively new to driving, car ownership/maintenance, etc -- but the vehicle I own, is not so new.. and is starting to show it.
I would love to know people's honest opinions on if it's worth while continuing to try and restore the car to its former glory.
The Car:
1998 Volvo S40 2.0T (B4202T engine)
automatic, with *over* 250,000km ODO.
No dash cluster error lights have been displaying.
Last 6 Months:
New fuel pump, New fuel filter, new spark plugs (iridium tripower), new thermostat AND new radiator.
But Now:
She's now misfiring and becoming difficult to turn over SOMETIMES - and if idling in traffic for too long will just shut off entirely with minimal warning and finding parts seems to be difficult for so many car part shops, and local roadside assistance doesn't have old enough readers to scan her when she does have issues...
