I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND PULLED ONTO THE HARD SHOULDER. I WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUETS AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE PRESSURE CAME BACK AND I CAREFULLY DROVE HOME DROVE 11 MILES TO PICK UP MY WIFE WE HAD ARRANGED TO GO OUT, DROVE UP TO THE MAIN ROAD AND THE SAME THING APPEND. TURNED IT OFF AND FREE WHEELED BACK TO MY HOUSE. THE RAC CAME OUT HE CHECKED THE OIL AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS A LITTLE LOW HE SAID THAT WOULD NOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM HE STARTED THE ENGINE AND AGAIN THE OIL PRESSURE CAME BACK HE TOOK IT TO A GARAGE. THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO AND A HALF WEEKS SAID IT WAS FIXED AND FIVE MILES ON IT APPEND AGAIN. SO STILL TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEN

a strong possibility of what is wrong with your car is a head gasket problem i would suggest that that is the next thing that you have checked out

Yes, it's the 'pnp' switch (also known as the inhibitor switch) which is on the side of the transmission.
I own 2 Volvo 960s (3 litre automatics) which are similar in many respects ... and have that flashing arrow. It's a well known fault and you don't have much to worry about.
Rather than write it all here, you can read what I wrote as an ebay guide about it at http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-960-Automatic_W0QQugidZ10000000003233806
I did put similar info on my website at http://www.glennsmart.btinternet.co.uk/volvo960.html with photos
Though the ebay guide is better ...
If you haven't got time to read it ... forget the flashing arrow and put a bit of black tape over it ... My wife's car has (192,000 miles) had that arrow flashing for 3 years. My car (100,000 miles) has had that flashing arrow since I bought it 1 year ago.
I did change the pnp on both cars ... but you also need to have the computer error reset by Volvo to have the light extinguished. Don't worry ... keep driving.

Since you are going to check the one way valve and cleaning the filter too, I would recommend to check the intake air filter and clean it throughly. After that use carb cleaner to free up the nozzles of the injector valve . If the engine sound better after using carb cleaner, add some into the fuel from the fuel filter or pump, whichever one has easy access, and gun your engine in short bursts, after which it should run better.........sodeep
