How much is the difference is there in a D15 cam and a D16 cam?

a few things you can try before you go to the shop. check the battery terminals, they're bad about corroding, and eating through the smaller wires. causes all sorts of problems. i'd try a tank of premium and a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. if you have any mechanical experience, you can probably risk trying to clean the throttle plate, but ONLY if its NOT the electronic throttle body. you can tell if it is or not by looking for old fashioned throttle cable. dont take it off, just hold it open and wipe off the plate with a rag sprayed with a bit of carburetor cleaner. not a bad idea to change the flame trap (Volvo's idea of a pcv valve) while you're in there.

Can't be a 97' Volvo did not change models until 98' when Ford bought out the company. Do you have a check engine light come on? Have you fuel filter checked - also intake system may have carbon build-up. There are problems with the electronic throttle - there is a recall on the system where it needs to reprogrammed.

I got a 1994 ford falcon i am looking to run it on veg oil is it possablie?

Sounds like a problem I Had with my '91 740. I would check the plugs, coil , cap and rotor for proper spark and wires for arching. Also check the fuel pump relay and filter. And change the oil because with all that cranking oil and gas usually mix in the oil.
