Default Problem with 940 stalling/cutting out

Hi,

Currently Im changing the fuel filter on my 940 R reg estate and the exhaust back box (hole in it). Im also changing the ht leads when they arrive, but I have had a continuous problem with the car engine stalling just after a few seconds of starting it. Always happens at the start of reversing it off the drive. It cuts out mostly in reverse, its an automatic. The idle tails off slowly and it shudders, then you have to start it again and just put some revs on, then it runs fine going to work.

The other problem is when going uphill after its been run for a while, the red warning emissions light flickers on the dash when pressing the revs like its a misfire. When you dont press the revs its ok. Seems to be on an incline only.

the car runs ok as long as you dont pressure it too much. On the motorway its perfect.
Should I check for vacuum leaks?? Is it the coils??
The car is used as a workhorse so I really dont want to lose it.

Steering rack was also an advisory on last mot, how much are these, or can it be repaired.

Thanks, also need to get a new fuel sender unit as this one keeps showing full when its not.
