Re: Can't figure this one out! 700 85

If the advice those guys gave you still doesn't help, check this out. I have had several cars do this to me. Not Volvos...but European cars none the less. My 76 Scirocco was terrible...it would just stop going. Everything checked out fine...I replaced EVERYTHING! It would work for awhile then cut out...I would wait an hour, and whatya know?! It would start! I had to start bringing a blanket with me to work so that if it stopped I could sleep a bit on the side of the road till she started again. Well...to make a long story endless, it was my FUEL CAP! Thats it! Seems that when I put my new rims on, they had bent the fuel hose so slightly that coupled with an old cap, air was getting into the fuel tank. Creating a little headache called vapor lock. My 78 BMW 535 did the same thing, but for much longer than an hour! Replaced the fuel cap and never had a problem again. This problem is pretty popular amongst older cars in hot climates...but hey..its worth a check.
