Volvo Repair: 89 Volvo 740 GLE Stalling, volvo 740 gle, volvo 740

Question
During regular driving the car lost power and sputtered and I pumped the gas pedal (while still moving)and it recovered then about two minutes later it did it again I had to pull over but did not turn off the car I kept pumping the gas pedal and about 1 min. later it drove as if there was nothing wrong. HELP!

Answer
Darryl,
This car is equipped with fuel injectors, so pumping the accelerator would not have helped like it would on a carbureted engine. Based on the limited info, I suspect you have a clogged fuel filter or a fuel pump that is about to die on you. The simplest thing to do is to replace the fuel filter if you haven't done so lately. If that does not help, have someone check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail on the engine.
