thank you all for sharing your knowledge. i wrote this message originally and now have a regular username. all of you who suspected the hall sensor were right on. i realized it was an ignition problem by the cars instantaneous dying at and so (already having replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor) went to the local bone yard and picked up a coil, power stage, and distributor (along with a variety of trim pieces) for a wopping $10! distributor was the last to go on and solved the problem--cranked right up and hasn't died since!

i'm a first time volvo owner and a youngster to boot, so despite the frustration all this caused i learned a ton about my car, so MAYBE it was worth it. if nothing else i don't want to give the car up cause i've got so much time and $ invested now. it is a great vehicle though. i just hope it's a reliable one now!

thanks again for all of your suggestions. they helped a lot!
