    I have a 1999 volvo with the d12, it started to lose power along the way but now it has a real hard miss. It feels like it's starving for fuel, I changed the filter (no change) some one said the egr is bad ,someone else said it was pre egr. The (check engine at next stop) post is on so I don't know if that would come on for an injector. Any one been there and done that?

    '99 is pre EGR, it is D12C Euro-II engine... yep, calibrations like in EU engine, I sugest 420 HP.

    There are three things make Volvo loose power.

    1. Bad injectors. How to test? if you have no VCADs pro software, you cant check cylinder ballance, but you can use instrumental cluster to get l/hour fuel consumption at idle. With park brake released (no EPG is applied, becouse when you apply park brake ECM applies EPG to warm engine up and save heat) and compressor disabled (pressure is fully built) must be 1.5-2.0 l/hour, if more - injectors inject less fuel you need, from 3 ore more l/hour engine starts with ether only.

    2. Boost pressure leak - volvo do not use crankcase vent to inlet so no oil in point of leak, so use pressure test.

    3. Worn engine, bad compression... yeah, you need VCADs pro to check... toasted valves is a problem of Volvo engines.. and no noise, no oil consumprtion.

    I don't know if it's an EU, I haven't had it long. It was running pretty good but never had the power I thought it should. Last night it started missing really bad I thought it was a filter so I changed it but it made no change, still missing. Going to look for a second filter but didn't see one last night the way it started all the sudden I'm just not sure.

    Volvo use to install all filters in filter block, one for EU ore two filters for bad fuel areas. Filters may be heated, may be not, all depend on market and customer.

    about your miss, did you get low fuel delivery pressure codes? check MID 128 (Engine ECM) for stored codes
