Car Forum / Volvo Cars / July 20081990 volvo 240 stall out after 10 minutes
Hi! Am trying to figure out a problem on a 90 Volvo 240 with auto trans starts well but always stalls after about 10 minutes. You must wait abou 10-15 minutes before it will start- then will again stall in 10 minute like clockwork. Engine sounds good when it is running. I know these car pretty well, but have never encountered this - any ideas are appreciated thanx, bo - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.volvo More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm I had a 1980 240 with the same symptoms (ish), turned out to be the ignition coil. It was fine for a while, then once it got too warm it failed (the car would stutter, hesitate and stall), I could pull the car to the side wait 10 minutes and it would be good again for a while. > Hi!

Turned out there was a screen (more like a sock actually) on the fuel pickup in the tank. It was crudded up so it would collapse and block fuel flow. After it sat for a while, the screen would expand and allow more fuel in the line. Took a lot of parts swapping (and a complete engine rebuild... don't get me started on that one) before I figured that one out. Don't know if 240s have a screen on the fuel pickup, I've never had the tank out of my '83. Thanks for the great info so far - bo - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.volvo More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm There is a screen on the pickup, it presses on and certainly could get fouled over time. |
