Check for vacuum leaks. Also make sure any air intake boots are on tightly. If not, this could give faulty readings to the MAF.
Is an engine light on? If so, get the codes pulled free at an auto parts store.
Also, your symptoms fit the description of a bad throttle position sensor. Our car did the same thing. However, this would throw a code, meaning the light would be on. So check my other suggestions first.
Get to an auto parts store and have them read the codes. That will tell you what is going on. The computer should store the codes so they can be had when you get them to hook up the scanner tool.
Well, I am pretty stumped then. I would recommend you to a forum below I found that are very active and seem to have some good knowledge that is better with Volvo's than me...I am sure they may be able to give you some better ideas and specifics.

Yes the engine light is on but it always shuts off after a while of driving. Is a bad throttle position sensor the result for the car dying?

Okay thank you so much.
I went to the auto parts store and there is no code the computer is giving. And my year make and model doesn't have a throttle position sensor. So I'm now at a loss. Do you have any other advice?
