Hi Steve - I went through the same thing a couple of months ago with my
1984 240 2 dr with 159,000 miles. In my case it died on the highway several times and also after going over a speed bump ( this happened twice). It was the fuel pump. One was working barely and the other was not working at all. Had the system redone with new relays, fuel pumps etc. and it runs fine now. Labor was cheap and parts pretty pricey. Fortunately this problem began a month after a trip of 900 miles below the border into Mexico. Might have been a major problem if it had happened down there as I never saw any Volvo cars below the border.
Good luck,
Dave
