Hello all. I'm have a 99 Volvo S70 which turns over but stalls once it starts. If I pump the gas pedal when starting, it will run however and I am able to drive it.

My question is this: I have to head out of town tomorrow for a while so is this something I could let linger for a day (meaning, drive with the problem) and deal with when I get back - or should I drop it off asap. Appreciate any and all replies!

 

sounds like a vacume leak to me. my old car had the same issue

 

i drove on mine for along time, just need to keep giving it gas, it would stall at lights and whatnot just trynot to let it idle was my theory

 

Sounds like a immoblizer problem to me might leave you stranded.

 

Thats pretty much what happened to me when I had a major vac leak. Would drive if it dint idle, had a hell of of time starting and getting it into drive w/o it dying.
