Very weird engine stall. 200 89

Last night the car died on a highway. Most peculiar thing about the stalling was the car was running fine for about 35 min (on the highway), and when I slowed down for traffic ahead, the car was stalling all of sudden. Made few rescue attempts by restarting the engine with the auto-trans in neutral. However the effort did not go that far - the car would not respond to the accelation pedal. Felt something similar to when engine is out of timing. And finally stalled altogether.

I tried to start by unpluging/plugging the AMM connector: there was slight difference with the connector unplugged - car idled for about 5-10 sec. - but result same (the enginge would stall).

Finally the car was towed to a garage I know (no, the guy is not a Volvo specialist). From my conversation with him I guess he did not do much except raising the idle which he shouldn't have done, and checked the fuel pump pressure which he said fine. And he said the car is running again.

A few minutes after I picked-up the car, I struggled again with the stalling engine. But this time, after few minute of struggle, the car was running fine again. At least it seemed that way.

Obiously the car can not fix itself. The member of this message group helped me a number of occations before, can you help me with this problem?

Thank you all in advance.
