I guess the best thing to do is to run through the problems from first to last. Initially my car was stalling randomly with a complete loss of power, both while driving and while stopped. Eventually it got to the point where it would not start for long periods. I let it sit for a couple of weeks while I replaced the FI relay, crank position sensor, and checked out the radio suppression relay (which looked fine). I started the car once in the process and it drove for a good 10 minutes but immediately stalled when I pulled into my driveway. I tried to replace the fuel filter, which resulted in having the car towed after my driveway was covered in gas (darned thing was all rusted together). The problem that I started facing after I checked the relays was the car would simply not start, or else it would start and run for a while (a little longer if I kept my foot on the gas and rpms around 1000) then die shortly after. It will crank and crank, and I can hear the relay clicking and the fuel pump engaging when I first turn the key, but it will not start. Once while cranking I heard a loud wizzing noise. It wouldn't start for the mechanics after they replaced the fuel filter, but I drove over there and it did start for me once, but not the second time I paid a visit. The mechanics are looking it over, but I've been informed they seem a little stumped as they're not Volvo specialists. Is there some options I could try to tackle or suggest as the next possible option? Spring break is over in a few days and I have to get back to work. Sorry for the long explanation and repeated posts. Thanks again in advance!!
