Engine hesitation in a Volvo 740 can be caused by several factors, including a clogged fuel filter, faulty spark plugs, or issues with the ignition system. Additionally, problems with the air intake system, such as a dirty mass airflow sensor or vacuum leaks, can also lead to hesitation. Other potential causes include fuel pump issues or problems with the engine's computer. Regular maintenance and diagnostics can help identify and resolve these issues.
There are several things that can cause your 1990 Volvo 740 to stall while driving. The most common cause is a bad fuel pump.
The engine is not running!
On a 240 Volvo (which basically should have the same engine) it is directly under the intake manifold. On a 1985-740 previous comment is right On a 1990-740, driver side, on top the engine between injectors #3 and #4 a big tubing and a small vaccum hose attach to the flame trap

Yes. The 740 and 940 are very similar and share many common parts.
Usually in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
No it's water cooled, but it is supplied with engine oil pressure for the bearings.
After searching everywhere I finally found the 1 site that does Volvo's, as I also own a 1991 740 GL Wagon with the Regina engine. This the site I had to go to http://www.vindecoder.net/. Good luck. Selina
On a 1989 Volvo 740, the coolant temperature sensor is typically located on the engine block near the thermostat housing. It is usually positioned on the driver's side of the engine, close to the intake manifold, and may have a single or dual wire connector. To access it, you may need to remove any obstructing components, such as the air intake or engine cover.
Remove the ashtray and you will find them there.
