need a mechanic in sacramento 200 1985

i am having problems with my 1985 volvo 244. It has been hesitating on acceleration and then running slow and backfiring. I think it has a problem with the fuel injectors or maybe the ecu. If anyone knows what's wrong or knows a good volvo mechanic in the sacramento area please let me know.

    If you decide to go to a shop, I had a very good experience with Sacramento Volvo Service (SVS). It's an independent Volvo shop started by some ex dealer machanics. Very sharp and professional people.

    No idea about Sacremento but you might not need a mechanic yet. In an '85, it would be about the first recorded failure of an ECU (511), in other words, don't look there. But first, make sure the fuses are clean, including the 25 amp fuse by the battery and especially the fuel pump relay (white, above front passengers knee). You can change that or just whack it with a screw driver handle to make it behave. If that changes running, it is the problem. After that, suspect a flaw in the cheap in-tank fuel pump or better yet, the little piece of hose on that pump.
