Check for misfires first. If all is good, give it a good service, some good fuel (or a decent additive) and an Italian tune up :D

It's running at about 90* but have some problem to keep the heat up on the highway.
When I "floor it" it smells like oil in the car.
Did a service yesterday. No difference...
I'll have no idé when the cat was change.
Italian tune up?
Sorry if bad english, not my first language :)

Fill it with shell optimax and two cans of fuel treatment, Wynns works well if available there...

Then drive it hard until the fuel is gone...

Repeat then retest :y

Sorry, didn't spot you were from Sweden.

Full with premium fuel, add some quality fuel treatment and then take it for a good, hard drive.

I don't suppose it's suffering from a cracked exhaust manifold as many of the 4 pots do? Any sign of an exhaust blow from it when started from cold?

Didn't find any cracks in the exhaust, but did find some oil in the "pipe" thats closet to the cabin.
I think one or two of the valve "stering" is broken.  :(
So the engine will find a new life in the scrapyard.
A new hart will be donated from a Saab b204/205 hybrid  :)
The gearbox will be changed to a r25/28 or a r28
Do you recommend any differential(LSD)
Thanks for the help  :y
