it started not wanting to go from a dead stop, had to barely give any gas, utill second gear, then could give it all the gas i wanted, no problem, was fine at highway speed, at the next red light it sputtered and i had to pull over, after some high RPM while parked, it seemed to run ok, but then about 3 minutes later it could not take any gas and i could not go over 30 MPH or it would sputter and spit, like it was getting TOO MUCH GAS-NOT ENOUGH-TOO MUCH-NOT ENOUGH, i limped home at 25 MPH. Its like its not able to handle the gas?
So now i am at a loss, i have had a new fuel pump and filter in the last 6 months, a new alternatior this past weekend, and spare fuel relays.
A thought is i was running fine, stopped at a HESS gas station, filled up, in the next 10 miles all this began, could it be simply the gas? I have never had this happen before.
I posted a video of me messing with engine to see it stall. you can go to my site www.wesleytyler.com/volvo to see me give it gas and the engine just cant take it.
THANKS WES
