Car just stalled

Hello all, was driving along today every things seems fine till I got to a stop sign and car just stalled. All went dead, tried starting and it will start but goes dead after a few seconds. Had codes checked and am getting codes from every module on the car. Am suspecting a fuel pump issue but may be wrong, anyone experienced this before? It's 2000 Volvo s80 with 133k miles

Air Mass Flow Sensor
Throttle position sensor 1 & 2
Air intake too hot

I am having a similar issue with my S80, however my issue, I hope, is the Mass Air Flow Meter. I asked my mechanic a variety of questions about the throttle, and he said the only time you would need to clean the throttle out is if your car stalls or dies when you stop. (Sound Familiar?

) Anyway, here are some instructions on how to clean your throttle yourself. You can find that here:

Also here is a video on it:

Also check your air filter, because it might be dirty and it can cause the engine to not get enough fresh air.

Hope this helps!
