Died in the Heat.. (88 745T 181K)
My 88 740 wagon was purchased 5 mos. ago and I have put 14K on it since. All long road trips, oil changes of Rotella T at 2-3K, etc and it has been running flawlessly although I suspect an in tank pusher pump not working due to the nature of the main pump "singing" at 1/3 to 1/2 tank full. Today at the end of a three hour trip I cooled down for 20 mins and then drove out to eat lunch. When I came out 45 mins. later, the car started and went 1/2 block, leaned out and would only idle (stumbling and sputtering). It acts as though it has vapor locked in the 90 Degree temp. I can hear the FPR click when turning on the key, but I have never since I purchased this car heard the main pump "whirr" when turning on the key as on most of my other Volvos. I waited till this evening for cooldown, but it never started. I am going to try a full tank of gas in the morning and jumping the FPR as well as try the ignition boost relay on the fenderwell. I also have an MAF coming to try tomorrow.
Any suggestions?
