You traded a '92 classic 240 for an S70, man that hurts.

The '92-'93 240s are considered the "best" volvos ever built. Reliable, easy to work on, cheap parts and with a red B230 engine that last forever.

Yes, the S70 is nicer looking and faster, but more complicated and expensive to maintain.

You probably need a new electronic throttle module, since these fail often and are expensive to repair. You probably don't need new O2 sensors, just start with the new module and see how it goes.
