Intermittent "stuttering" or "sputtering" problem both at idle and at highway speeds. Feels like fuel injection system is misfiring the engine. Car has never stalled, but numerous times when pressing accelerator from stop, sputtering causes delay in acceleration.
1998 Volvo V70 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car lost total engine power at freeway speed when operating at normal temperature. Would restart on berm upon slight cooling, then failure recurred back on freeway. Car was flatabeded to dealer for service. Dealer first identified fuel pump failure, then said wiring to fuel pump was incorrectly installed. So far, dealer's repair satisfactory.
After filling up the tank, fuel was found to be dripping under the car. It appears to be coming from the expansion tank or its hoses. The dealer needs to drop the rear suspension to get a better look, and then order parts. I've have read about this problem involving other v70s.
Leaky fuel tank.
Consumer would smell gas very strongly after filling tank. When taken to dealer on 11/12/9., dealer stated that a prolbem existed with the expansion tank and that the tank would be replaced.
