Default help! V70 Died!

My 98 V70 R died this afternoon. Car ran normally for several miles, then lost power and stalled. It will re-start, but then dies immediately. Car has 120 k on it and is in good condition and well maintained. My initial thoughts are fuel related?? Any suggestions on common problem areas or where to start? Many thanks.

without access to a scan tool, are there common problem areas to start checking to help narrow it down? thanks

You have to check for fuel,spark and injector pulse.
That is the first place to start.

A trouble code will save you time and get you right to the source of the problem.
