When 1986 Volvo stalls out at stop light then will restart and putters at 50 mph whats wrong?

easyist thing first check the fuel filter, after that go into the electrical, plugs,wires, cap, rotor. It's very common for the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, Mass Airflow Sensor and fuel pressure regulator to fail on this car. All of these can cause the symptoms you describe. You should also make sure the throttle body is clean and adjusted correctly. Bret


What are the possible Causes of wincor nixdorf ATM faulty epp?

It may have been thumped by a irate customer, there is a shock sensor which will cause the firmware and encryption data to be dumped when this sensor is triggered. also keys can fail probably due to water and or dirt ingress.

What causes the mass air flow sensor to fail?

sometimes oil or dirt can cause them to fail. other times they just go bad. they make a mass air flow cleaner spray,don't know how affective it is, has to be a very dry cleaner,meaning not oily solution.
