Stall at idle - fuel pressure regulator? V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Comrade Rutherford on  Mon Aug 24 22:50 CST 2015 [RELATED]

There's a really nice 1999 V70 for sale, with a stick! Those are so rare! I want it!

BUT.

The owner says, "The car starts and idles however if you give it gas the engine will bog down and stall."

So far, "I already replaced the Air flow sensor, and cleaned the ETM. As well as a new fuel filter."

But it's still doing it. So he thinks, "The regulator would be the last on the list to replace."

I'm not convinced. I've been reading the boards tonight, looking for some clues, but all I've found was a thread talking about a bad regulator making the engine run faster, not stall.

I've asked him if he's read the codes, and I'm waiting a response for that.

So: Would a bad regulator cause this symptom? And what else could it be?
