Thanks a new fuel pump will be ordered. A few other issues I have with this toad, turtle whatever is the name. The axle needs to be replaced. The steering is hard turning to one side only. The ABS/ Traction Control light comes on some times not all the time. I think the rest is okay.

Since yours is 95, try to clean your wheel sensors w/ brake cleaner first. If no go, check your codes from port A-3 https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... hp?t=10758.

Try to replace the fluid (ATF) first.
