2018 Volvo S90 — vibration under acceleration but not while coasting

2018 Volvo S90 T6, about 61,000 miles. The car is smooth at the same road speed when I lift off, but under moderate acceleration I can feel a vibration through the floor.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2018 Volvo S90 does it — then decide on parts. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. This is from a 2018 Volvo S90 in Bay Area with 61,000 miles. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Move a coil or plug on the 2018 Volvo S90 if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. This is from a 2018 Volvo S90 in Bay Area with 61,000 miles. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
