Definitely could be a vacuum leak. Check for cracked or unhooked hoses everywhere. IAC sensor is possible too. they're pretty easy to clean out. I would also advise investing in the Bentley manual, and also I wouild suggest either asking here or some other volvo expert before replacing things like the main fuel pump, which is a stupidly expensive part! I've saved a pile of money over the years by waiting to spend money on what I THINK is broken until someone here tells me otherwise and I discover that they're right. Spending money on parts when you're not sure what's wrong rarely fixes the problems (been there). At least now you still have a working main fuel pump as a spare (you didn't throw it away, did you?). So there's my statement. Don't lose heart over this, it doesn't sound like a big issue. If it runs fine except when returning to idle, I would suspect a minor air leak first. Good luck on this...
