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
drivable at all and stalls if idling and quickly stalls if I give it any
gas. Here's the strange part and I hope someone can help! If I pull the fuse
for the intank pump the car runs perfectly but the new external pump is VERY
loud. If I put in the fuse for the 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!
