I had pretty similar issues with my 98 V70R, was getting worse all the time. Dealer said it was weak/dying fuel pump, had the dealer replace it since I didn't want to get involved with pulling the tank on an R. Yep, it was in the $600-700 range as recall. They may have changed the check valve at the same time (probably), but in any case, all fixed now, starts great in any conditions. Good luck.

Madeinamerica... Anyone there? Im a little late to the party yes.

Where did you get that 90degree Schrader elbow? I have looked all over and cannot find anything. Was it a kit?

I'm trying to add a fuel pressure gauge on my dash and I don't know how else to attach my fuel pressure sending unit. Any ideas? Thank you so much!
