Default HELP my 81 Volvo 240

Ok I just bought this car because the guy could not get it running. I put a battery in it and it started right up, but would stall if you did not let it idle for about a minute. I drove it around for a few days and then one day it would not start, it would just crank and you could not hear the fuel pump. I tried a couple days later and it started,now it will not start again it just cranks.Please help. Also not sure how to use the OD button. Thanks for any help

Try changing the fuel filter.

Hi maybe you need to replace the fuel filter, and clean the carburetor, in many cases the dust may cause that problem ..

It sounds like you're out of fuel.

Always try the simple cheap fixes first. In this order, I would: 1 Check the gas tank. 2 Replace the fuel filter. 3 Replace the spark plugs. 4 Replace the fuel pump. This car WILL start if the fuel get to a set of working spark plugs.
