We have a 2000 Volvo V70 station wagon. We have experienced stalling in traffic, especially from idle (made a left turn in intersection and engine stalled and cut out) and other stalling and idling problems over last two - three years. We have taken it to our dealership; they have cleaned out the throttle control module twice at approx. $200 per time; a new unit costs $500; dealership blames problem on today's fuel quality. Last stall in ongoing traffic was July 21, 2005.
