Hmmm...I wonder?

I nearly had to scrap my 940 Sports a while back due to a similar (ish) problem.

In my case the car would idle perfectly (problems will always vary a bit) but I would drive just 4 miles (every time) and suddenly..without any warning whatsoever..the car would stop dead...and not start for a couple of hours!..most un-nerving when crossing other roads etc.

You name it,we did it, especially on the fuel side of things..and then electrical.

The tank came off...fuel pipes too..new coil, I visited all of the local Volvo agents (utterly useless I have to say...sorry) .

I then went to an Orwell crossing meet..where 'Mollusk' said..ignition amplifier...by the time I returned home..with a glimour of hope, 'Clan' had also come up with the same diagnosis.

These two guy's saved my car!...I bought a used ignition amp/module for £15.00 (around £180.00 new!) and viola!

I 'think' there are a number of way's an ingnition module breaking down may manifest itself.
