My car died and as i kept trying to start it smoke came from the car a few hours later it started again once it cooled down.
I changed the air mass sensor recently myself, and after that the gas burning smell from the car stopped, i thought the car would work perfect after that,

but the volvo after running for 13 miles plus died on me on the road, i pulled to the side and had to wait 5 min to get it started again, then it died about 3 times before i could safely park it at a gas station( it would just shut down on me), waited for it to cool down came back 3 hours later then drove the car safely to my house about 10 miles away(drove fine)

started the car in my driveway and it worked 15 min then died

a diff day it worked a little longer than died, this is just the car standing there not running...

had it taken to a small foreign car repair shop this week

they said after all the computer checks the car works fine, and they said they had it turned on for 1 hour plus and drove it around and it seemed fine didint shut down on them ( well the weather is colder now could that be why its not heating up..overheating)

one thing that they said they need to fix is the booster as the pedal squeeks when you press one it....


does anyone have any idea why the car dies then starts up after a while, is it safe to drive or should i go to a pro volvo shop to make sure ?

please help
