Hey everyone
I'm a newbie here and this is my first post so go easy on me
I'm driving my dad's 1989 Volvo 240 GL. It's using a B230K engine and of late has been acting really cranky. Sometimes when driving the power levels fluctuate, and it feels like the engine isn't receiving any input from the accelerator. Usually after about 15 seconds of this the car stalls and then takes from anywhere between 5-15 minutes to start again. Using the choke doesn't help and neither does flooring or not flooring the accelerator while turning the key. At first the problem only occured when the tank was near E but now it occurs even with a full tank. Could it possibly be a problem with the in-tank fuel pump or something else like the carburetor? My knowledge is rather limited and I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks alot!
