ok, there is what happens. i'll start my volvo up when it's cold and it will start up, now if i leave it at idle, it will run for 5 minutes and then all of a sudden die. i'll try to restart it and will crank over, but will not start. i tried to hear the fuel pump click on for 1 second, but it didn't. now i waited 2 hours before tryin the same thing again, only this time i raised up the rear end of my volvo so the wheels we're off the ground, i turned on the car, and as i first cranked the engine, i listened for the fuel pump and it turned on and ran, i did this a few times and it worked fine. then i started the car and puit it in drive and ran the car up to 60 miles per hour, after about 30 seconds, the car all of a sudden quit running. i then tried to restart the car and listen for the fuel pump , and it would not click on as i wanted. during this troubleshooting, i took off the fuel cap just to make sure it wasn't the culperate of my problem.

now here is the question, if there is a possability that the fuel filter would be clogged, and no fuel would get to the fuel pump, would the fuel pump still click on?? i changed the fuel pump relay so i know that isn't the problem. any help is greatly appreciated.

respectfully,
