Volvo Repair: loss of power, fuel pressure gauge, air mass
QuestionI have a 1988 GLE740 with 455,000 miles. After driving on the freeway for a 1/2 hour or so in warmer weather, acceleration is reduced greatly as experience after exiting the freeway. Sometimes I can not get up hills. If I turn the car off and start it again, I have full power as before I got on the freeway. What needs to be fixed.
Thanks,
Dan Goldfarb
AnswerDan, This is impossible to diagnose without testing things on the car. I can give you some ideas on what to check but you would need tools like a fuel pressure gauge. This sounds ignition related but like I said, I cant be sure without seeing the car. It can be anything from a fuel pump check valve to the air mass meter. Sorry. Roger
