Here's the setup, for all you Volvo detectives (Law N Order RULZ!!)
Car was running great, no problems. Started on a 500 mile trip when 2 hours out,stopped to fill up at an Exxon. Filled up, car immediately started to stumble and shake upon restart. Changed out the fuel pump relay, smoothed out and ran for a few miles, then started to cut out and die.Would not restart until cool down. Would run rough for a while at slow speed, then die. Changed out the AMM, the idle control motor..no luck.
Towed home, but technician says "clogged fuel filter from bad gas", but I changed it last Fall.I have a new one plus an extra Bosch pump that I will change out when it gets warmer tomorrow.
Is there such a thing as Bad Gasoline? I thought it was a thing of the past.
What can we do to prevent bad gas from harming our Volvos...now wife wants me to get rid of my 86 740 and get a HONDA!!!
The Horror!!!
Help, Bricksters.
