Folks I'm new to this forum as my daugher owns the Volvo. I need your help and I appreciate it. She has a '96 850 Turbo w/ about 112K on it and it is an automatic. I've replaced plugs last summer and done general maintenance including the tranny flush when she is home from college. Last week she drove to work and the car was fine. At the end of her shift she started it and it would not hold the idle, it stalls below 1500 RPM. She states the car did not run rough prior to this. I had her hold the idle for a while at about 2000 RPM and the temp gauge indicates it is working so it is probably not a temp sensor. O2 sensors give you ample warning (usually) in setting the check engine light and poor gas mileage. This is not the case and the check engine light did not remain on after initial start up.

Any ideas where to start or what it may be? I am used to doing repairs as I've owned Alfas in the past need I say more but I miss them) and do all my own work on my BMW, air cooled VW, and Jeep. This seems like a fuel delivery or sensor problem to me.

Thanks,

Pete
