Have you swapped out the Main Fuel Pump Relay (also provides power to the computer) and the Air Mass Meter with your spare units? I'm betting the culprit is one of these two.

Standard backup items to keep in the trunk of any Volvo I own:
1. Spare Main Relay (Fuel Pumps and computer)
2. Spare Fuel Pressure Regulator
3. Spare Air Mass Meter ($35 at the local U-Wrench-It salvage yard)
4. Spare Timing belt and tensioner (just in case they break while I'm a long ways away from home and thus I don't have to pay horrific prices at some small garage in the middle of nowhere).

You didn't mention whether you have a 740, 760, or a 780, since the relay locations were different between the 740/780 and the 760 cars in 1989. If you do indeed have a 740 or a 780, then take a read through the following recent post. The 1989 760s had the relays mounted next to the passenger's side left knee in the center console, and they relays are very different from the 740/780.
