Been stood off road for 9 months.
Just MOT'd fine
Started driving fine
Engine warning light came on solid but still driving fine, if a bit ******"
Engine warning light stated flashing and all accelleration lost.#
Able to pull away slowly and carefully in first and get to 30 - 40 MPH over a period of time on the flat by changing gear but zero accelleration

When the check engine light starts to flash it indicates you have a severe misfire. You should inspect the 2 coils at #3 and #4 cylinders and look at them carefully. They split down at the sides. Also if you have not replaced the spark plugs in a while you should replace those with "VOLVO PLUGS ONLY" any other bram=nd and you will have a misfire. Good luck to you and let me know what happeneds?
