Last year my 240 would shut down while in gear, when the summer got here in NC it ran like new. Now it's cold and while sitting at a stop light in gear it shuts down 3 out of 10 stops. Sometimes the check engine light comes on. I am not a mechanic and my volvo dealer treats me like a king when I get the bill. The dealer says they all do that and charged me 75.00 bucks to leave it there for a cold start. They said it was fuel so I changed to high test with no help.
I have hear I should clean the flame trap but one dealer removed the filter years ago.

I have used seafoam, replaced air and fuel filters, rotor button ect.
I can live with this problem but my wife can't.
any idea out there. .
