95 850 GLT Wagon with 382,000 miles on it just flat out died while driving on the highway. Had it towed 111 miles on a flat bed to the shop. Mechanic says that when they get it started it sparks at the plugs/coil and then the spark deteriorates over about a 30 second period, dissapears, and the car shuts off. No codes showing. Car has been a solid runner with mostly hwy miles. Any thoughts would be very appreciated as we really need our baby running and the mechanic is having a tough time on this one and he's never let us down on Volvos totalling over 300,000 miles that we've put on them! (the 95 mentioned here with 382k, a 96 850 GLT wagon with 179k, a 96 850 Turbo wagon 187k, an 82 240 wagon with 226k)

It almost sounds like heat or some thing in a component is changing over time.

I am no expert, but has a good ignition module been swapped in to see if that makes a difference? Same with the coil, has a good one been swapped in?

Looks like the ac clutch is running constantly and may be causing the problem with the engine cutting out. Any thoughts?
