Our wagon has had 4 - 5 episodes (happens every 1 - 2 months) where the engine just looses power and dies (just like the ignition was turned off, no sputtering). My wife was driving it today and it happened, she says there was a smell of raw gasoline. Up to now, every time it quits we wait 1 - 2 minutes, crank it back up and it goes along like nothing happened. Volvo shop kept it for a week, of course it would not do it then, they could not figure anything wrong. I am carrying my Torx screwdriver and a new fuel pump relay in case, but i am beginning to question, relays typically just quit. is there a way to check condition of the MAF, TPS? i hate to wait until it finally quits, for my luck it will be in the middle of nowhere!
