My 1994 Volvo 940 cut off on my wife on her way home it took 4 starts for her to make it home.I have changed the spark plugs and checked the fuel pump and there is a steady flow of fuel .Usually it starts right back up but it stops after about 3-5 minutes.Sometimes it may take hours before it starts again.I would appreciate any help any one has to offer.My Volvo is non turbo.

      There may be a problem with the car’s computer. If you are not getting a check engine light, then that may be the case. It could also be the fuel pump relay going bad and is switching off the fuel pump.

      Volvo sounds like it could be an electrical fault with the distributor goodluck.
