1994 850 stalling issues after starting

Post by MVolvo_850 »

Just got the car a few weeks ago and I'm having trouble with the car starting sometimes. changed the spark plugs and the fuel pump relay but still I'm having problems randomly. A friend said it may be the camshaft position sensor or possibly a clogged fuel filter and I don't want to throw money into the car if it won't help with the problem

Clogged fuel filter, no.

Many other things to check before the CPS.

Ignition parts
Vacuum leaks
Engine coolant temperature sensor or ECT
