My 1993 Volvo 940 has been running smoothly however, most recently and suddenly, while going at 30 mph (@ approx, 2000 RPM), I stepped on the gas and the power and RPM dropped... No power for about 2-3 seconds. Just as suddenly, the power came back and the engine ran smoothly. This happened a few times on the way home from work. When I was stopped in traffic, it stalled once but I was able to immediately start the engine which ran smoothly... If I keep the RPM elevated, there is no loss of power... Could this possibly be a clogged fuel filter? I do not think that it is a clogged injector, otherwise the engine would run rough.. The distributor cap and rotor are fine. It appears that it may be intermittent fuel starvation... Any insight would be greatly appreciated... could it be an intermittent fuel pump relay? Has anyone ever experienced similar symptoms?

Thanks,

OnlyVolvo
