Volvo 940 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Volvo 940 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Stalling volvo

    VOLVO specialist John Johnson, of Voldat Automotive, recommends you start by cleaning the throttle butterfly. If there's a build-up it may not be properly returning to idle and sending an incorrect signal to the computer. If that doesn't work, try resetting the idle switch. Beyond those, you could check the idle motor to make sure it's operating correctly.
