I've inheirited a nice looking 89' Volvo240 GL, which was well maintained and driven by my Grandmother. I've recently had problems with the engine cutting out when I starting to drive it. The check engine light came on and it gave me a 1-2-1 code (related to the Mass Air Flow Sensor). I replaced the air intake hose, which was worn badly. This didn't resolve the problem, so I purchased a refurbished MAF sensor (OUCH-expensive) and it started driving fine, no hesitations and no cutting out. I also dida tune-up (fuel filter, spark plugs, rotor and cap, oil change, oil filter).

I thought all was fine, but now after I drive for about 1/2 hour, or untilthe engine gets nice and warm, it starts cutting out on me and sometimes stalls, especially after I come to a complete stop, but will cut out periodically when cruising at 55. It still drives, but limps home. The check engine light is not coming on, and I am not getting any error code. I don't know where to start looking next for a solution. Can anyone give a list of logical things to check?

Thank you,

 

Hi, I know your message was from a while back, but did you ever solve your problem with cutting out when engine warm?
