i had the same problem with my 740 turbo, it would turn off on reverse. theres a valve underneath the throtle is black to increase the air and it will also increase your idle. but most likely it will be your idle control valve.

My Volvo sw stalls out when I'm @ a red light or stop sign. (Not all the time, but when it does it's really irrratating!)

Now I'm reading here that it's an idle problem! I live out in booneyville, (the only Volvo in town, as well) and the nearest mechanic is around 150 miles away, in Greensburg, PA. Like I'll ever have a day off in my lifetime, and everyone is closed on the weekends, so any help would be much appriciated!

Like, why does it do this, and how can I take care of it?
