My 1995 volvo 850 dies while driving
normally not too fast, 10-40mph

Right before the engine dies, the tach blips about 200 rpm (it feels a bit like when cruise control starts to accelerate) then the needle goes down to 0 smoothly down to 0 as the engine dies.

When I try and give it more gas, nothing happens

The lights stay, but the power steering dies

The car can not be restarted with out at least a few minutes passing

If try to restart it immediately, the engine turns over and sounds strong, but nothing happens

after a few minutes wait, its starts normally and drives fine (Until it stalls again)

My local mechanic checked the battery & alternator and said they were both fine
