I'd double check that fan relay - especially if it isn't Volvo. Sometimes the connections to it get rather corroded. I know at one point I had a similar error, literally just had to clean the connections off with a wire brush.

Check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Could be a failing fuel pump...

Holy mackerel, thanks to everyone for the feedback! While I change motor oil regularly, and swap air filters, I've not been good about brake fluid changes. I am just now, later in life, learning what really needs to be maintained, vs. That What The Mechanic Said to Do. BKM, that video was excellent...
