Hey all,
Have a 98 2 ltr 10v V70.
She runs beautifully - however noticed a little stutter from the engine when driving - hardly anything and it seemed to pass. However changed the plugs and air filter and all seemed good for 240 miles. Then one day after a 50 mile drive it refused to start. Would crank happily, but not start. It stuttered for a second or two then stopped. Eventually local rescue called and embassingly it started after the third try and ran as normal until home. Would not restart after we stopped. Suspect heat related problem. Has anyone any idea what? Could the fuel pump relay be at fault? Do not think it is maf sensor because it runs well when it starts.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Thankyou for the comment, I have suggested to the garage lads that the relay is the first thing to change as it is relatively cheap. I will post back as soon as this is done.
( forgot to mention earlier that no codes were dropped when tested )
Not all bad news because I think,... and here would welcome other opinions,..that we now turn our attention to the MAF sensor. Suggested to the garage that we try to clean it first - they are going to have a go with carb cleaner. Will report back soon.
MAF SENSOR CLEANED BUT AS CAR RUNS WELL from cold do not think this is the problem
Replaced engine temperature sensor still not starting when hot
Suspect the spark - tested for a spark and found none. Therefore am thinking the problem could be with the coil. Has anyone any thoughts?
Actually could be the coil as I changed the plugs and air filter due to a slight stuttering which was just perceptible when motoring normally.
Thanks Tech for the suggestion - will address coil first and come back to report - regarding the camshaft sensor I can see that this is near the engine and can get warm - yet it does not seem to effect the running of the car from cold to normal temp, only when trying to restart.
