Hello all,

My volvo loses power for about 1 or 2 seconds every once in a while. It feels like a sudden thing, not a clogged fuel filter. My volvo guru leans against questioning the fuel pump, but it sounds strange to me, like its pumping too hard. Sounds like a bee hive at idle instead of the single click every couple seconds. He checked voltage at the pump, got 12v. Ive tried a new relay under the dash on the passengers side, Ive tried a new fuel pressure regulator, it looked ancient anyways. I realize I could be jumping to conclusions thinking its on the fuel side rather than ignition, but Im not sure what to check on the ignition side. Please reply with any ideas or suggestions. One other thing, the car rarely starts on the first turn of the key, always starts on the 2nd attempt. Thanks in advance, Jay
