360GLT engine stops whilst driving. Please help!

Hereafter 11 April 2005 17:51:19
 I own a Volvo 1.9 360 GLT. Whilst driving sometimes the engine just
cuts off. I still have power for lights etc. I have to restart the
motor by turning ignition off and starting up normally. Car starts up
first time as though nothing happened. Problem is completely random
either driving fast or slow but does seem to happen sometimes when I
accelerate quickly. Before it dies whilst driving the engine coughs
and sputters before power is lost. Please help. this problem is
becoming very frustrating.

...not to mention downright dangerous. I wouldn't be waiting for a reply
here, though the advice might be very good. If you're still driving it, get
it fixed before you kill someone.

Its not exactly typical symptoms, but the usual engine cut out problem on
this car is the fuel pump fuse clips. They are too stiff and with a little
corrosion and age can be unreliable. Best to replace with a sealed inline
fuse, but bending the fuse clips in a little and cleaning can offer a
temporary solution. The auxilary fuse box is behind the battery, mounted on
the wing.

It doesn't seem much like ignition problems, but something could be loose.
Make sure all the ignition is very clean and sound with newish parts.

These cars usually have little to go wrong and are mostly reliable.

BTW knowing the year is helpful. I assume since you think it is a 1.9 you
mean it is the B19E from pre-1984. The engines are all closer to 2 litre.
