first, thanks to everyone for all the suggestions! i'm going to follow up on them on monday cause I have to go out of town today.

The base idle has been adjusted since it was suggested earlier that it may be running lean b/c of california emissions regulations. I know that the fuel pump and the IAC definitely needed to be replaced. As for the other parts I honestly am not sure. I had to go to a wedding in texas and the car suddenly started acting up on the way to the airport so I had my friend take it into a local volvo shop and when I returned I had a $1200 bill for a bunch of stuff I never agreed to have fixed- yep, I'm pretty sure I got ripped off royally. As for giving up, it just feels like an 89 240 w/only 115,000 mls on it for 2,000 after trade in sounds like a pretty good deal- and w/out the electrical issues of a 90 would be easier to work on...
Cheers
Celise
