Re: 97' S70 Random Stalling

Sounds like it's time to replace the ignition switch for starters. I'd also replace the fuel pump relay as it could have microscopic cracks that act up when warm. Have your electrician be sure to test the resistors and diodes right near that capacitor. Also have him perform a "shake and bake&qu...
