my 89 240 stranded my wife today; any suggestions? 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be 2oldvolvos on  Wed Jun 15 09:07 CST 2005 [RELATED]


dear brick board,

my 89 240 dl sedan stopped running while my wife was driving it to work. this is the first time this has happened but she was none too pleased.

i suspect an electrical problem related to driving through deep water during a storm the other day but i am not sure that is the problem.

i left the car air out with the hood opened today. the battery was down so i jumped it and it ran fine for a minute or two. then it started fading. the ide slowly dropped and then it stalled. it seemed almost like the fuel supply was slowly being cut off.

i made sure there was fuel in the tank. i have checked the fuses including the one under the hood.

after it stalled, i jumped it again and it did the same thing; it ran fine for a minute and then slowly faded until it stalled.

does anyone have a suggestion where i should begin getting to the bottom of this problem? please advise. thank you.
