Engine Performance problem
1993 Volvo 850 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 129k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I pulled a bone-head move again (I think!) Sprayed the engine compartment down with a garden hose. Drove car about a mile immediately assuming that would remove any water if I fouled something. Tried to start car 4 hours later and would turn over but not start. To me, sounds like it's starving for guess since it almost "catches," but won't.
Had new volvo fuel pump and filter installed 20 months ago.
Did same thing about a month ago--sprayed, drove, stalled. Engine acted same way, but started eventually after about 10 minutes trying.
Help!! Diagnosis? Ideas?
Could it be spark plugs? Fuel Pump/Filter?(shouldn't be I wouldn't think) Timing Belt? Coil? Whatever?
Really appreciate your response....
Best Regards,
Bill
