You may have a vacuum leak some where or the controler in the dash is not functioning correctly. Start with the vacuum leak first.

:) :D Dan R. you are worth your weight in Gold. the air vent issue was exactly the rubber vacumn hoses against the firewall. they had rotted. something so simple. Volvo uses a whole lot of rubber for everything. and it will dry rot with engine heat and weather.
I just hope I can help someone else with returning the favors and knowledge you have shared. thank you , thank you.

You may already have done so by posting the update. Other members will now be able to look at danr's advice and know it works.

Thank you.
