Post by RustyS70 »

Hey Guys

I have a 99 Volvo S70 with 113k on it. It runs great but the last few times i have driven it, it has stalled out and everything but the radio goes dead all gauges and lights go to 0. I am going to change the plugs today because i have no idea when the last time they were swapped out. Any help trouble shooting this problem is greatly apreshiated. Thanks In advance. Matt

What's the mileage? What are you doing when it dies? Accelerating? Coming to a stop? Any check engine light?

Check the positive battery connection . The small red cable powers everthing but the starter. The 850s have had a problem with the electrical portion of the ignition switch. I don't know if the S/V/C have the same switch
