Car Forum / Volvo Cars / May 200585 DL Cuts out, sputters, knocks
After about 5 minutes of normal driving, the car cuts out and jerks, like the fuel is being pinched. If i shut off the car and wait a minute it will work for another five minutes before starting over again. When I opened the hood i heard it backfiring. Could this all be a timing belt? Any other ideas? > After about 5 minutes of normal driving, the car cuts out and jerks, like > the fuel is being pinched.

Any other > ideas? A timing belt failure will not give you five minutes of normal driving. If you haven't changed the fuel filter lately this would be a good time. The symptoms could be something else, but they are also typical for plugged fuel filters. Mike Fuel filters should be changed regularly at about 70,000 miles.

A plugged exhaust system will give the same symptoms... SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
