fuel injection problem? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be danielle on  Wed Jul 31 12:33 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi all,

I have a 1987 Volvo 240 GL in pristine condition :-)

I noticed in recent weeks that when I turn the ignition key, the engine starts, but it sounds weak and then the whole motor and car shakes and the engine dies. It works fine on second attempt.

This used to happen very occasionally, so I thought that maybe I didn't hold the key for long enough for the engine to start correctly. But this appears not to be the case now because this scenario of engine attempting to start and then dying a few seconds later is becoming an almost daily feature?

Friend of mine reckons it might be a fuel injection problem. Spark plugs have been changed just a few weeks ago so it can't be that.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Danielle.
