Just recently bought a 1979 Volvo 245dl n/a,beautiful condition. The engine turns over,but the turnover speed fluctuates between fast and slow. When it's spinning slow,it acts like it wants to turn over but never does,only sputters. When it's turning fast,it sounds like it has no compression,and it's sending air back through the intake. Exhaust is clear,got gas to it,plugs were a little fouled but after cleaning them,nothing changed. Got spark from all 4 plugs. Timing belt is tight and shows no signs of slipping or damage. I need to get this car running and driving,as it's currently sitting at the car lot where I bought it,and the owner is letting me work on it for a bit,however I have no way to trailer it home,so I have to get it moving under it's own power. Any help would be stellar,thanks guys.
