Car dies without notice... S70 1998

All,

So before I begin my quest for knowledge, a quick update on the transmission issue after engine mount replacements.

Its been about a month of driving and the car all of sudden now goes into drive like it used too. I have not looked at anything as I have not had the time, but I drove it last night and well, it now goes into gear without me have to shift slightly into 3. We'll see if this continues.

Now onto the problem at hand.

The car yesterday, once, and then again today, almost left my wife stranded.

While driving the car, according to my wife it appears to just die lose power and die. So much so today that she had to stop the car and put it in park to restart. The car did restart right away and she was able to make it home without further incident.

So the question is where to start looking? My first thought as of now is the fuel pump relay. I've replaced it with a used one, but have no history on this one as it came from the PNP.

So where else might I look? Might the transmission thing that used to be happening be an issue as well and that this is now biting me in the ass?

Thoughts???

Thanks in advance,

Matt
