This is one of those problems that occurs sporadically in electronically controlled cars. The only way to diagnose it is with the dealer-only software and other diagnostic tools. Be prepared to leave the car for a few days since the problem is intermittent. I'm sorry to have to recommend any dealer's service department but ti might be your only way out at this point. You might find a competent independent Volvo shop which would be better than taking it to a dealer. The key word her is "competent" with emphasis on "well-equipped".

If your s80 is between 99-02 there is a factory recall on your ETM (electronic throttle module) which is directly related to the issues you speak of. Stop by or call your local dealership to set up a time to have the recall #155 taken care of.
