my car idles just fine when i start it up. however, when i am braking toward a traffic stop, the revs drop well below 1000 and the engine fails. this never happens in a parking lot or driveway, but only on the roads when i am deccelerating from higher speeds. it's a manual tranny, so i can just keep it out of gear and start it up and go on my way without pulling over, but obviously i plan on having it serviced. the volvo tech i spoke to said it sounds like a problem with the idle control valve. has anyone else had this problem? any ideas of approximate repair costs? thanks in advance for any insight.
