I have owned this beauty for 3 or so years.

About a month ago, the engine just died on the road (all dashboard lights, radio are okay--just the engine). I started it up and drove it for a mile or so and it died again. Eventually it wouldn't start at all and I had it towed into the closest Volvo mechanic. I noticed each time before it wouldn't start that the fuel pump "buzz" just before ignition didn't occur as it usually does.

So...the Volvo mechanic said that it was probably the fuel pump going bad and that was causing the relay to overheat and burn out. I agreed to have him replace the relay and the fuel pump for $500.

Another 3 weeks go by and as I'm driving it around, the same d**n thing happens. So...I have it towed back into the mechanic and leave it with him to check it out.

This time he says it's probably the wiring harness which he says is disintegrating. I agreed to have him replace this for $800.

I pick the car up and drive about 20 mins to work in it with no problem. At the end of the day, I leave work and about a mile away, it dies AGAIN.

I have left it at work in the hope that someone on this discussion board can give some advice about what to do next. Having replaced the fuel pump, relay and wiring harness, what else could be wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
