Volvo Repair: 1993 - 850 Stalling, flash flash flash, fuel pump relay
QuestionI have read some of the other post that were asking this same question. My 850 is stalling more than ever... the temp is up to high 90's and I wonder if that has anything to do with it. My car stalls when idling and when driving. There is a drop on the RPMs and then dead. I have to wait 3-5 min to restart and then we're off again. I have read the answers such as Wires, fuel pump relay and a few others. I changed the fuel pump and plugs already.
This is so ramdom and sometimes I go for 2-3 weeks without a problem. Have you discovered what the cause of this frustrating problem could be. I cannot afford to have a mechanic repeatedly changing/trying/testing out different things to end up with this problem. Please Help Me.. I cannot run my ac because that seems to cause more stalls... and it's HOT here in Memphis.
Answerthere are many things that can cause this.first I would try to check for codes. below is how to do so.
behind the passengers side head light are 2 small black boxes,1 marked A ,and 1 marked B.on box A there is a small wire insert the wire into the hole marked 2 then turn the ignition key to position 2 but not started.then on the box narked A push the small button for 1 second then release it.the small red light will flash a code back as a 3 digit number.there is a short pause between flashes for a single digit and long pause between the different numbers.example:
a 121 would look like this flash.....flash..flash....flash
write down each code,then after the first code repeats its self then press the button for 5 seconds the light will light when pressing button then go out when released,then the light will light steady again when it does press button fo 5 seconds again,this should have reset the check engine light.let me know the codes. i will tell what they refer to.
