    Hi everyone,

    As the title of the post states, my 1992 940 Turbo stalls on hot
    restarts... it cranks just fine, but will sometimes just immediately
    stall. I have been getting around it by starting the car up and
    immediately holding the gas down at about 1000RPM until the engine
    gives a little boost and then normalizes. Car runs perfectly as soon
    as it stabilizes after ignition. I don't have this problem when it's a
    cold start (cold as in the car hasn't been started, not temperature
    wise).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks so much!

    RK

  2. The fuel pump relay often does that. The relay is actually a double unit
    with the relays mounted to a circuit board inside. The solder on the board
    cracks and can cause failure to start when warm. Eventually it will give as
    much trouble when cold. If you are handy with a soldering iron repair is an
    easy DIY.
