I had the same problem on my son's 92 model 940 about 3 years ago.
I almost....I'm mean almost....replaced the head gasket because all of the symptoms were consistent with a blown headgasket.
As a last resort, I started at the beginning again and ran down all of the possible causes, and suddenly it occured to me, the cooling fan wasn't running.
On the 92 model, (Volvo changed it in 93) the temperature switch that is located on the passenger side of the radiator (toward the engine) controls the cooling fan.
This switch had failed.
A simple fix, and a great relief because I didn't want to pull the head.
I don't know whether to say that I hope this helps, but there you go.
