QUESTION: thanks for responding Roger; the car is a '91 240... but here is something totally new, and maybe helpful. i cleared all error codes by pulling the battery cable, then re-started the car and waited about 5 minutes until the volvo stalled. while it was in "stall" mode, i popped the hood to run diagnostics. when i tested terminal # 6, i got an all clear code, but when i tested terminal #2, i got no test codes at all, until the car exited the "stall" mode and fired up, then terminal #2 tested all clear. so the stall is caused by something killing the electrical circuit of the fuel system, are there any sensors or relays that would cause this? thanks a bunch, john
AnswerJohn, Did some thinking about this one. The problem is, the thing that I think is the problem will not show up on the diagnostics. Its the ignition power stage on the firewall. I would check the fuel system relay as well. If its a 91 date on it, I would replace it. Thats a start, but it may be other things as well. If you dont want to keep guessing, I would have a Volvo shop help you out on this. Roger
