Answer
Del, without scanning this car, it can be anything.  These cars are not like the old days.  You have to scan these cars for everything.  I would only be guessing but you may be having a cam sensor problem or possible airmass meter.  Roger

Del, A Volvo Specialist shop or dealer would be the best. They have the proper scanning equipment.  Roger
