Hello, I just recently purchased a 1988 Volvo 240 DL about 2 days ago & it just started shutting off at random when coming to a stop. It?ll usually happen when I least expect it & it?ll Christmas tree on the dash as well. I?m able to start it up normally right after it happens so it?s not too much of an issue, however it worries me because I use this car as a daily driver to work & such. I was wondering what this issue could be & how I could fix it? I?m not very mechanically inclined & I?m pretty nervous to work on it myself as I don?t want to **** up anything. What are some things I could ask a mechanic to check out for me? Here?s some more information to help you guys figure it out:
It recently had the AC recharged and serviced, the oil changed, trans fluid topped up, a new battery, and a few other odds and ends.
I also drove it back home 100 miles away from where the seller lived & it didn?t give me any issues on that initial long drive.
