Run some STP fuel treatment through it.
Check your spark plugs for old age or bad gaps.
Check your air filter for clogging.

Have you had a tune up lately?
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Also check the vacuumn hose for very small cracks. This started with my wife's 2000 s80 t6 at about 35K miles; many returns for warranty and the dealer replaced electronic modules, etc for the next 65K miles. Since it never showed up on the engine computer, the service techs were clueless. Finally it was stalling 3-4 times a day without warning, even on the freeway at 65 mph. Got fed up with the dealer's incompetence and took it to an independent volvo guy; diagnosed problem over the phone and repaired in less than 3 hours.

Motoring - Electronic throttle causes headache for VolvoElectronic
throttle causes headache for Volvo


Gothenburg, Sweden - Cars that unexpectedly stall due to a suspected
faulty electronic throttle have caused a headache for Swedish automaker
Volvo.

Thousands of vehicles assembled between 1999 and 2001 may be affected and
could force Volvo to issue a customer recall. Models affected are five and
six-cylinder versions of the S60, V70, XC70 and S80 series.

Volvo Car South Africa has taken note of the potential problems with the
electronic throttle assembly on 1999 - 2001 vehicles, it said in a
statement.

As with all matters of this nature Volvo Car SA takes its lead from Volvo
Car Corporation in Sweden, and will contact affected customers should a
recall be launched.

Any issues related to the electronic throttle that were brought to its
attention, it promised, would be handled with the necessary consideration.

In Sweden alone some 120 000 cars may be affected, although the Swedish
Automobile Association hasn't noted any increase in this fault.

"If customers suffer from stoppages they should contact a Volvo dealer and
get assistance to rectify it," said Volvo Car Corporation spokesman
Christer Gustafsson.

He added that Volvo Cars, owned by Ford, is still considering whether it
would recall cars or extend its warranty.

In the US about 300 000 vehicles are estimated to be equipped with the
electronic throttle in question, although the problem seems mainly to have
affected Volvo owners in California.

Authorities in that state were said to be urging Volvo to extend the
warranty on these components.

Media reports said that in one year Volvo spent some $13.5-million (about
R80 million) as a goodwill gesture cleaning or replacing 27 200 throttles
on traded-in cars.
