Problem overview

Some Volvo V70 owners report experiencing stalling issues after driving 30 to 50 miles, which may be linked to problems with the fuel system. These stalling incidents are often attributed to the fuel system, and using high-quality fuel from reputable sources is recommended to mitigate potential fuel-related issues. Additionally, some owners suggest that periodic use of fuel system cleaners can help maintain the fuel system's health. If stalling occurs after refueling, it may indicate a faulty fuel pump or fuel pressure relay. Other reported causes include issues with the air intake and ignition systems, as well as problems with the A/C compressor that can lead to engine lugging. To prevent these stalling issues, regular maintenance, including fuel filter replacement and checking the fuel pressure relay signal, is advised. Owners experiencing these problems should consult a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and resolution.
