Recently purchased a 1988 760 gle. I have never owned a 6 cyl Volvo before only 4 cyl's ....Everytime the car is started it runs and idles fine for about 2-3 minutes then abruptly stops as if some one has turned the key off ,it is a clean shut down. I have tried to locate a scan tool but it seems they dont make one for this year and model .it does not have a self diagnostic unit.. I feel it is an electrical problem. Possibly something with the fuel system ...if you have any input or have dealt with this model your input will be much appreciated.... Thanks Jack ....outside Chicago


Each time the car starts up and dies it becomes harder and harder to start until it wont start at all ( 3-4 time ) I thank you greatly for your input. What relay do you think it could be and do you know the location? thanks again jack

i posted this on saturday and got some great help thanks alot ...i have stil not located the problem ....i checked the fi relay (green) and it was made in 2000 (obviously replaced recently ) so i dont believe it is that ..i also switched the fan control relay and the radio suppression relay with each other ...no difference so i dont believe it is one of those because the car is acting the same ......any other ideas ...thanks so much ...Jack
