problems with the car
Im having a major problem with my 99 s80. I was driving the car yesterday to the airport and all of a sudden on the highway the car started to decelerate while i was still holding the gas pedal. I started to pump the gas pedal but the car continued to decelerate. I pulled over and let it sit for about 30 mins then started up and went on my way. Then about an hour later the car started to do the same. I pulled over and parked it in a parking lot and tried to drive around the parking lot. The acceleration was very sporatic as if it was choking or something. Then i parked it and decided to leave it and i heard some noise coming from the gas tank area in 1 -2 second intervals. I let the car sit overnight and started it in the morning and ran fine for about 40 mins then started decelerating and losing power again. Now the car is parked 1 hour and a half away and im going to have it towed to me friday. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to what i should do or check. I have a strong feeling its either the fuel pump or the eletronic throttle module (ETM) because i heard that they were defective on this vehicle. Any help is appreciated.
