Car stalls when driving 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Laurie on  Thu Feb 8 14:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My Volvo has been stalling out when driving down the highway. It doesn't matter how fast I am going, what the temperature is, etc., but it seems to happen more frequently when it gets warmer outside. It also happens more frequently right after I pump the gas. I have taken it to the dealership and they have no idea what could be wrong with it. Yesterday, it stalled out 3 times within 30 minutes. Today, it stalled out once. Does anyone have an idea as to what could be going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Laurie-

    Have them run a fuel pressure test and pinch off the return line coming out of the fuel pressure regulator. This should 'peg' the guage. I have seen a number of 850s that the hose was blown off the fuel pump inside the tank. The hose is still in enough contact with the pump for the car to run, but the fuel delivery is erratic. Found this on my own car shortly after I got it.
