problem Starting and Stalling 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be JB on  Wed Dec 5 03:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I posted a while back about a problem I was having with my 850. It was struggling to start and would often cut out when pulling away from junctions. After reading a few comments on the board it looked as if the battery or the fuel relay might be the problem. I got the battery replaced and indeed this cured the situation for a while. However, over the last couple of weeks the problem came back. The car would really struggle to start and I could guarantee that it would stall at junctions. After a few miles driving, the problems, would disappear. To cut a long story short, I had to put the car in for it's 80,000 mile service and the garage couldn't start the car. They replaced all the spark plugs and cleaned the distributor cap. The car starts fine now and so far I haven't had any more problem.

Hopefully this might be of help to somebody having similar problems.
