The number one cause of this kind of problem is a faulty Air Mass Meter, although someones suggestion of cleaning the throttle body is a very good idea to start with. Chech the air intake tube after the throttle body to see if it,s torn, quite frequently they get contaminated with oil from neglected P.C.V. systems. Also check the connections at the Air Mass Meter to ensure they are clean and proper, and despite what some people may think, never, ever, use after market rubbish, want to ruin your car, use junk parts. I work at a private Volvo repair shop, we have alot of experience and believe me when I tell you after market parts are no where near the quality of the original equipment parts that came from the factory. Also, you can here the main fuel pump under the car run for a moment as it cycles when the key is turned to the run position, the feed pump (the one in the tank) can also be heard running if you are under the tank and someone is obviously helping you by cycling the ignition key. If all else fails, take it to someone qualified to repair Volvo's in your area, they are great cars and usualy are worth repairing, GOOD LUCK!.
