89 240 start-n-die problem 200 89

posted by  someone claiming to be dan arbuckle on  Thu Nov 1 04:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]



My 1989 Volvo 240 DL is stalling out when I try to start it. It will run OK for about 10 or 15 seconds and then it will stall as if the fuel supply was cut off. I can start it immediately after it stalls and the same thing will happen. It will run for a few seconds and then stall out. If I stay on the accelerator, I can keep the car running but it is not safe to drive when it is cold. After it warms up, it is OK at cruising speed but still unstable when at a stop. The check engine light is on.

The car has 89000 miles on its LH Jetronic fuel injected B230F engine.

With the diagnostic probe in socket 2, I have recently read the following codes after disconnecting the negative battery lead to reset the computer: 3-1-2, 2-3-1, 2-2-1, 2-3-1, and 1-1-3.

The car has recently had the following new parts: plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, fuel pressure regulator, air mass meter, O2 sensor, flame trap, air filter, and fuel filter.

I have also recently cleaned the throttle body and checked for cracks in the hose that runs between the throttle body and the air filter.

Any ideas before I end up taking it to the shop? Please advise. Thank you.
