AUTO REPAIR SHOPS CAN TEST FOR YOU

Try make a OBD readout. Perhaps there are a troublecode stored in the system.
The relay to operate the gasolie pump in the tank can be defective so the solder is getting hot and loses contact.

Did the engine stall or did it just lose power but stay running? Did the gauges fall to "0" or idle?

Usually when something major like that happens, the check engine light will come on and there will be codes set in the computer.

I would start by checking the codes, and if at all possible, use Volvo's VIDA and DiCE interface to make sure you get the right codes. Some generic code readers can't read all the Volvo specific stuff.

That will get you closer to the actual problem.

Rule out the simple stuff. Do you have enough gas in the tank? The gas gauge might be wrong and you're empty. The ETM could be wonky and on its way out. Google "Volvo ETM" and read up - there's a sticker on it and the color of the sticker could indicate if you have the old (likely faulty) module or not.

Ignition wires - these engines are coil on plug if I remember right (they changed around those years '98 or '99) and then you check the little wires to the coils.

The code means the computer tried to vent the gas tank and found a huge leak in the vent system. Issue could be a faulty gas cap, leaking gasket on the gas tank, or broken line from the tank to the vapor canister.

sounds like a coil issue

Throttle cable is coming apart. Cable goes through a plastic sheath and after many miles cable starts to unwind internally.

your volvo has two pumps one in the fuel tank and one under the car if your car runns good from full tank to about half it is probbely the pump in the tank that is the problem if the car tend to missfire and run poorly. good luck Hans from sweden the home of the mighty volvo
