Hello,
Thanks for all the advise, I really appreciate it. Yesterday I looked for the relays that Spook recommended looking at. For the last couple of weeks I was trying to find these relays on my own but i could not find them. I bought the Chiltons manual, but it is confusing since it is not specific to any Volvo model and they try to cover too much at one time. Anyway I checked the relays and immediately I noticed that the fuel pump relay (under the radio) was really loose and not making good contact. I was so excited I took it out for a drive without clearing the codes. I drove it for about 15 minutes with no problems. Usually the car would have stopped atleast 5 times in the conditions that I test drove it (stops, traffic, engine warm, etc..). When I pulled into the garage, just before I turned it off it went into Limp node.

I cleared the codes this morning and drove it to work (about 25 min) with not problems. The car feels good. I placed my hand on the relay after I turned it off and it was warm to the touch but not hot.

Did my car go into Limp mode because I failed to clear the codes prior the test drive or do you think there may be multiple problems?

Anyway I am very happy with the improvement and hopefully I can figure this out 'cause I love the car.

Thanks again for taking the time to read my problem.
JR
