There are a few different things that can cause a Volvo 850 to stall. But personally the first thing i would check is the cam sensor. I've had this problem myself.

This could be a number of problems. It could be air filters, vaccum lines to fuel delivery units. and if those are not solving your issues. Then it might be internal. Taking step by step starting with easy parts that are testable and visual. But it's the best way to identifiy the problem.

The car can stall for many reasons. The fuel injection system could be clogged, there could be a Mass Airflow Sensor malfunction, the fuel filter may need to be changed, or the air control valve may need to be adjusted or replaced. You may also need to clean your idle control valve.

There could be a number of reasons, some of which are: a defective idle arm, a computer system error, a problem with a vaccum hose or idle valve component.

I guess it can be a problem with the fuel pump relay. The best suggestion is to replace the fuel pump.

Your spark plugs may be old, or your spark plugs wires may be loose. Also it could be the grade of gasoline you put into the car.

Depends on many things. Is it a turbo car? they have different motors. Is your check engine light on? If so take it to a shop or a local autoparts store and ask them to check why your lights on.
