The Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) was introduced in 1999. Volvo has agreed to service/replace it up to 10 years or 200K miles, which ever comes first, of course.
You will be given little warning when the ETM fails. Sometimes, it will just stutter for a while, but most likely it will find you in the middle of a rainstorm in rush hour traffic and the nearest dealer 100 miles away :)
If there is a dealer close by, they can down load temporary software which will help. Check for service records.
$7500 is a reasonable price. Make sure the AC is ice cold as the replacement of an evaporator is about $1500.
