B230F stops after 20 miles (30 KM)

skidje · Mar 19th, 2006, 20:20

The engine of the 940 (1993) believe B230F or B230FB simply stops after a good warm-up. Happened 3 times and each and everytime when the car had driven aprox. 30 Kilometers!!? Any idea's..
When the car is cold it starts perfectly but this phenomenem started last week just after having had one week of holidays in the snow whithout any problems.. All check-poins will be welcom to know. My first idea would be to look in the iginition part. But would any of yours have a hint where to look first? Joseph

Cleaned all connectors related to the ignition system. And now it seems to be OK. Let's presume it has been a bad connector and hope it doesn't come back.

Hope it keeps going - if it fails again it's a good idea to try and establish what's there and what's not - spark, fuel pressure etc. It might be the coil, but you might be better served by posting in the 900 forum - where there will be greater familarity with your engine.
