Stalling Problems and Feul Pumps
Well, my Volvo did it again today. At 7:00 AM and 65 F temperature, it started and drove fine as I got my morning coffee. Six hours later, after sitting in the hot California sun on this 90 F day, it failed to start in my driveway…
I have an ’89 Volvo 740 GL Automatic with 200,000 miles. As I drive the car it will just Stop running. There is no indication that it is going to stop. The engine just shuts off. Even with my foot on the gas accelerating. I then have to turn the key off and wait for 30 seconds or so, then it will start up. It may do it again or not. I had my mechanic look at it and he is stumped. we have change some sensors and settings. Found a broken ground wire from the battery to the engine and it still stalls. What could this be?
Did you ever get the answer to this problem?
My 1996 850 is doing the same think. Twice I have taken to a trusted mechanic and he is stumped also.
I’m having a similar problem with my 1989 240. It will drive for awhile then just stop. About 2 min. Later it will run. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night. It does it alot uphill but not to much downhill. It does it a lot in town but not much on the freeway.
