Intermittent Stalling 850 1994 850

Well, I have experienced the stalling twice again this week. Only external factor I can note is that we have had some sudden temperature changes here. The car stalled both times at very low speeds. Starts right back up and runs great.

One time I was pulling the car into the garage. Able to drive hundreds of miles since (Including to the look at new cars!).

My next step is to look at the fuel pump wire under the back seat mentioned in previous posts. I have heard of the same problem and cause in older 240 sedans.

Any more suggestions. My mechanic has checked for codes. He wants the car dead!

Thanks

Here is what I have done for this problem:

1. Checked the battery. As it turned out it was the original from Manufacture in Dec 1993. It was not holding a full charge.

2. Replaced the fuel filter, It had at least 50K on it.

3. Replaced the fuel pump relay switch.

I believe the problem was caused by the battery, the fuel filter is regular maintenance. Fuel pump relay was optional.

Hope this is really fixed, as I said it was an intermittent stalling problem. It started slowing and became more pervasive, but very difficult to duplicate.

At at a minimum this is an order for trying to islolate the solution.
