Hello All!

I'm going crazy and here is why!

My 1987 Volvo 240DL was having a problem starting and it would take many times cranking before it would fire up. The external Fuel pump was also loud and whining.

I replaced the external pump and the starting problem was solved, it fired up instantly every time. I went for a ride and the car goes just fine but I hear the new external pump whining even louder!

I figure I need a new in-tank pump so I go and install a new one.

Now the car will start every time but then stall out instantly, it's not driveable at all and stalls if idling and quickly stalls if i give it any gas. Heres the strange part and I hope someone can help! If I pull the fuse for the new intank pump the car runs perfectly but the new external pump is VERY loud. If I put in the fuse for the new In-tank pump the car just dies upon startup.

I hope someone can help me. I need this fixed as soon as possible because I take care of an elderly mother that had a stroke. This volvo is my lifeline and I am stressed beyond imagination.

Thanks to anyone that can help...you'll be saving my life!
