I have a 1990 740 volvo turbo. Its been sitting for a couple months now. my car will start but when i take of and just start to get going, it slowes down and act likes it will die. this is as im pressing the gas. if i take my foot off the gas it stays running but still wont move. please help me. Im thinking it has something to do with the fuel line

I dont know if it is the same problem but the issues you are speaking of were the same I was having with my 940 turbo.It turned out to be a dirty mass airflow sensor bought maf cleaner sprayed it out let it dry disconnected the battery to reset my codes. Then reinstalled maf sensor waited 15 minutes reconnected the battery and my problem was solved.it definately sounds like a fuel issue so I hope this helps our at least gives us somewhere to start>my car sat for 5 months when parked it ran fine then when got going again I had this issue
