Car Forum / Volvo Cars / March 2006940 Turbo died at stoplight
My 93 940 turbo died while I was sitting at a stoplight this morning..it started up again and then died yet again...it started again and ran fine all the way home in city traffic. I'm wondering if I should be worried....car has 191,000 miles on it. > My 93 940 turbo died while I was sitting at a stoplight this morning..it > started up again and then died yet again...it started again and ran fine all > the way home in city traffic.

Pull the fuel pump relay, pop the cover and have a look at the bottom of the circuit board, if the solder joints look cracked either fix those or replace the relay. There's a few other things that can cause stalling like that too, you definitely want that fixed or it could leave you stranded. > My 93 940 turbo died while I was sitting at a stoplight this morning..it > started up again and then died yet again...it started again and ran fine > all the way home in city traffic.

Each time the worknig period was about half of the previous working period. I bought a new fuel pump relay ($50) and installed it. Piece of cake, the car hasn't stalled since, and only $50. Now that I have a working car, I will solder the old one and keep it for the time when the new one cracks. NCMan Many many thanks to you guys for telling me about the FPR...I ordered one from FPC Groton for $20 plus $7 for shipping...IPD wanted $43....why? Anyway I installed it this morning and took the old one apart and yes the solder was cracked so I'll resolder and keep it as a backup.....again thanks guys! > My 93 940 turbo died while I was sitting at a stoplight this morning..it > started up again and then died yet again...it started again and ran fine > all the way home in city traffic.
