Hi all,

Car seemed fine but stalls intermittently (warm, cold, hot... no matter). After last stall (on a highway exit going 40) check engine light came on.

I came home and went to diagnose when I realize that as soon as I plug into any slot, the bulb lights up (very faintly) and will not respond when I press the button). Is this a computer problem?... i.e. the DREADED engine computer problem that seems to have plagued some Volvo's of the early 1990's?

Check engine light wont turn off... I can't manually turn it off but if I disconnect the battery, voila the diag at least flashes 1.1.1. (for no codes).

Trouble is, my car keeps stalling every once in a while (on startup, while driving... for no rhyme or reason).

Thanks,

Ruben
