I recently had the same issue with random stalling in my 1999 Volvo S70 Turbo w/55,000 mi. I went to the Volvo dealership parts dept. and bought a new fuel filter [$45], fuel pump relay[$85], and fuel injection relay[$36]. I took the parts to Midas for installation and also had a throttle body cleaning[$79] done.
Not only did it solve the problem, but I?m getting much better gas mileage and the car accelerates much much better.
