Volvo slows down going up steep hills when air temp >95 Fahrenheit
1989 740 Turbo sedan, with 160,000 miles -- a volvo teenager! every summer, when the air temperature is over about 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and that is quite often in northern California, the Volvo has difficulty going up long hills and starts to lose power.
