a bad or disconnected oxygen sensor will make the engine run rich.
How about a clogged air filter?

Weell it sounds like you have the days old problem Pepole dont know how to look after there cars.
The muck you still have in the engine isent doing it any good and so you have to get rid of it all, as its in the engine block and is got to go ,,so drain a little of water out and put in 1/2 a cup of washing up liquid in the radiator and start the engine and let it get hot and take the reves up to 1000 rpm now and then to keep the water going around the system, after about 1/4 hr turn off,,stand for 10 minutes ,,and then remove the cap slowly and then take off the Bottom hose and let all water out also take off Top hose at the engine end and put the house water hose in the top and turn it on till all water comes out clean. Then put hose up into the bottom hose and do the same again ,and the same in top again.Now with a clean engine you can do the same to the new Radiator and wash out all gunk .then check the thermostat and make sure its 100% (any doubt through it out) and take note how it comes out so you can fit a new one the same way,
Now refit both hoses and fill with coolant or antifreeze and TURN on the heater to hot before starting as you also have to get out the air from heater when it was drained and you will trap the air which might cause you code problems..
But now try service light reset
1,,Turn Ignition to Number 1position.
2,,Press and hold "day counter"reset button and turn
ignition to II(second) position,hold down for about 12 seconds.
3,,Afterservice light flashes,release button,there should be 2 beeps confirming reset was successful.
Let me know how you get on .. Ron

SOURCE: catalytic converter check engine light 2001 s60 volvo

usually if you start to hear a rumble, and by rumble i mean it sounds like a bunch of pieces of metal are clanking around in your exhaust then the catalytic converter needs to be repaired. It could also be the oxygen sensor which is located on top of the converter. Volvo did an interesting job of having them sit on top of each other.

Where on a 1999 Volvo S80 is the o2 sensor located? And how much are o2 sensors?

Off the top of my head the Volvo has two catalytic converters. The 02 sensors are located just before and just after the catalytic converters so you have 4 total. Look at the exhaust lines and find your catalytic converters. On the top of the exhaust pipes you will see a cable going into each 02 sensor. That is the easiest way to spot them. 02 sensors can range in price from about $40 each (cheap ones) up to about $200 each for the over priced ones. You can get them at most car parts stores or online stores. I have found that online parts stores will usually have a better cost but you have to wait for delivery. Why are you wanting to replace them? Did you have a failure code (check engine) light come on? Do you know the code? If you have a bad one then only replace the one that the failure code tells you to do. Don't just replace them as they cost to much and most times it is unnecessary to replace all of them for a single sensor failure. If you have never done one before you need a special tool (socket) so you don't damage your sensor cables.

THE OXYGEN SENSOR LIGHT IS SHOWING WHERE ON THE ENGINE ARE THEY?

Oxy sensors are sometimes before and after the catalytic converter.

I have had oxy sensors replaced but the engine light keeps coming on. I take it in, they turn off the light two weeks later its back on.

If the fault code relates to the oxygen sensors, make sure that they used Volvo factory sensors. The aftermarket sensors (even Bosch) have not worked well in the S80s. Also, make sure the catalytic converter is not causing the problem (the rear oxygen sensor monitors the cat).
