Mysterious stall, then start again like nothing happened 850 1994

On two occasions my 850 wagon (150K mi) has suddenly lost power while driving down the road, the engine becomes unresponsive, slows down until it dies (while i am coasting to a stop). At the moment the engine dies the usual lights come on in the dash. In less than a minute, I crank it and it starts and runs perfect. No Check Engine light, no stored error codes whatsoever. Independent Volvo shop in town kept it and drove it for a week, and of course, it would not do it there, they could not find anything wrong. This is bad news, because the wagon has been our "travel car", but now I do not want to risk taking it far from home like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated, what parts to procure, U Pull It or new, etc.
