Try cleaning the throttle body and idle motor first and see what happens.

Hi! Please help me. I`m having a big problem with my volvo, is a 240 DL`98, sedan, Like a month ago I was drivingand suddenly the car started to stall and I had poor acceleration. First tought was that iI needed tune up, which I made the day after, I changed all I could to have a good result:
All failed, still got stalling engine,lack of performance totally bad. The most i can get is 30 35 mph. It seems like the exhaust system is clogged.
Even i replaced the catalyzer, I don`t know what else I can do. Please for sure somebody must had the same problem. Help! Thankyou.
