Default 850 stalls

Went to 2 volvo pro's and they found nothing. Keeps setting 214 code and intermittent stall no rhyme or reason. Replaced main relay, factory crps sensor, they tried a different computer, and cam sensor. What next?

thanks for the help.

Default RE: 850 stalls

There was a TSB a few years ago that dealt with that. It calls for using a ty-wrap to secure the lead from the crankshaft position sensor well away from the ignition wires. In its natural state it wants to loop up near the distributor cap where its signal can be interfered with.

It is my kinda repair, real cheap and real easy.

Default RE: 850 stalls

I cannot find code P440 in my factory manual.

Hot climate puts strain on the engine, especially if it's a turbocharged one. Stalling could be due to many things and could be due to either one fault or multiple faults. I would check the cooling system, fuel system, induction system & ignition system. Some cars are more vulnerable to vapour lock in the fuel line.

See attached FYR.

Default RE: 850 stalls

What are the symptoms leading up to the stall? When our Volvo was stalling out, it would cruise, then stutter and buck just before it died, most of the time. It ended up being vacuum line related, so you might have your mechanic go over all your vacuum lines and check for cracks, leaks or breaks.
