I wouldn't really buy either suggestion (that the manual valve is okay, or that Volvo knew best). However, I've seen at least one other person replace the idle motor with a hand valve with some success.

I'll agree tho that I am suprised they didn't take the motor out and soak it in some carb cleaner. That tends to free up most of them. However, if you cruise the junk yards for an idle motor off of any Volvo with the same injection setup.. you should be able to find a working one in better shape.

But hey, if it works.. it works.
