I have an '89 Volvo 740 GL Automatic with 200,000 miles. As I drive the car it will just Stop running. There is no indication that it is going to stop. The engine just shuts off. Even with my foot on the gas accelerating. I then have to turn the key off and wait for 30 seconds or so, then it will start up. It may do it again or not. I had my mechanic look at it and he is stumped. we have change some sensors and settings. Found a broken ground wire from the battery to the engine and it still stalls. What could this be?

Have you checked for fault codes which may be stored in the On-Board Diagnostic unit in the engine compartment?
