Your Volvo 240 starts and idles good it will operate in reverse but every time you go to drive the engine stalls please help you get your Volvo on the road again?
I worked for an Independent Volvo, and I got to see just this problem, sometimes the car would go, and sometimes it would stall. I admit, there could be many possible problems, but what we found most of the time was the Cat Converter. I know that many are cursing right now, but understand the answer first. Eventually over time, the catyilizer can break up into pieces if this occurs, the catalytic converter can shift and sculpt into a shape that will obstruct the flow of the exhaust system. If the shape is a ball, which usually forms, it will roll back and forth in its case while you are driving, and once it blocks the outlet, the engine will stall. It is likely that you could have some other problem, but sometimes you just have to check every possibility.
I have seen this type of problem too, and the cat is a possibility, but I would lean more towards a bad fuel pump or mass airflow meter.
What else can I help you with?
