Volvo: car sputters then dies wont start until next day, intake hoses, volvo 240


Question
83 volvo 240 turbo sputters then dies and wont start back up until next day.

Answer
Drew,
Take fuel pressure reading for the control pressure, and the line pressure, also making sure the rest pressure is good. Make sure that the in tank pump is working and pumping fuel. Look at the intake hoses and intercooler hoses making sure there are not any cracks or holes in them. Make sure the fuel is fresh also.
