850 Starts then dies
I haven never been left stranded by my 1994 850 glt even at over 300,000 miles until last night. The car started fine, I started driving then it stalls during acceleration. I tried to start her and she runs for 2seconds, then dies out. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem may be?

thanks for this, my 850 sonetimes hasnt started the past few days, so i got a paperclip and jumped the fuel pump relay and it starts up great. A new fuel pump relay is on its way

also, 850s have an injector relay that can go bad and give the same symptoms. It sits up front by the radiator. Maybe worth replacing that as well. Note that FPRs usually die because the fuel pump is on its way out. As they wear, they start drawing too much current which fries the relay. So a good next step is to test the pump's current draw (and replace it before it leaves you stranded...)
