I have a 2001 volvo s40. It runsa smoothly most of the 99% of the time but when i come to a stop at a light or stop sign, it stalls out! I hear it could be a ( Idle air controll motor) It starts right back up every time it stalls. At times it also revs up at a stop and wants to send the car forward, and have to slam down on the brake harder so it doesn't move. Hope you can help! Thanks!

Sounds like your ETM - Electronic Throttle Module.

Search for xemodex. He has a direct replacement for 1999-2001 Volvos. I ordered mine from him, and its much better now.

Get a quote from your dealer, then compare the prices.

You have lots of codes

Have you not used Google to look them up?

I doubt all the codes are failed system issues

I suggest to anyone coming to this site, to use the
services of a repair shop or buy & learn how to use professional
scan tool software,I fail to see how you can diagnose anything
without it

2001 Volvo S40 misfire
I had a similar problem, I "thought" for sure it was a mis-fire. It turned out to be a problem with the right front axel & bearing assembly needing to be replaced. Once replaced & after a $600-$700 bill, it started running smoothly again. Good luck
