What about your coil? Couple of thoughts: take a look under the hood at night in your garage with the lights off. Check for visible electrical leaks around the coil tower, where the coil wire plugs in, also the spark plug wires and distributor cap, now with a helper, put the engine under load (foot on brake with car in gear with some acceleration, but stand off to the side) watch for the same stuff. If okay, take off the small electrical wires at the coil and give the terminals and the threaded connections a light wire brushing and test drive. Lastly, if you can borrow a known good coil give that a try, however Volvo coils are pretty robust and long lasting, mines 15 years old, but I did have trouble like you and it was a loose connection at the terminals.
