Help !! I have a 740 GLE 2.3. I have replaced the intank and undercar
fuel pumps and filters. The car starts up normally then quits after 30
seconds or so. It started happening as the weather started cooling
down. Problem started at about 45 F. The car also has a new Air Mass
Unit and the fuel injectors have been replaced.

Any help welcomed !!

My ex partner had a similar problem in his Ford van. He paid a dealership
thousands, literally, in
parts replacements, car rentals, and associated costs. They also replaced
the various fuel pumps in
his multitanked van.

It turned out that the fuel lines were partially blocked. The car would
often start, and run for a while,
but then die.

So checking for a blockage might be a logical next step.

Ask in alt.autos.volvo

One of the first things to check on a 740 is the relay that controls
the fuel pump.
