I'll take the old one off again and try starting it up. While I am doing that I will get some pictures of them and post here.
The MAF measures the mass of the incoming air via a hot nichrome wire. Air blowing past that wire cools it which changes the resistance. This tells the ECU how much fuel to inject...

I put the new MAF on in place of the old one, with which the car starts but stalls at times. With the new MAF, car wouldn't start. I took it off. Will put the old one back on. I assume the MAF is not the problem, but I can't figure out why the new one makes the car not start. The old one is Bosch #0280212016. The new one is Professional Parts Sweden #87437020. I can't find out how to see if these are equivalent parts.

Also, I finally found the ECU codes in my shop manual. 1-1-3 in the book indicates a problem with the fuel injectors. My previous info came from a website. Should I go with the codes in the Haynes book I am using? Is there a better list of codes somewhere?

I use this site's table, it has been accurate so far.
https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/faq/Eng...InjectionFault

on LH 2.4, that code means the engine is either too rich or too lean. too rich can mean the MAF is reading more air then is actually traveling through it, or it can mean the OX sensor or wiring is bad . too lean can mean the MAF is reading less air than actual, or it can mean there is an air leak somewhere in the system between the head and the MAF, or a bad OX sensor (or o2 sensor wiring). oh, exhaust leaks before the OX sensor can also cause one or the other of these, at low throttles, the exhaust leak will suck in more fresh air, diluting the exhaust and messing with the readings.

you should clear the code, ensure its 1-1-1 after clearing, then drive it some more and check again.

A quick update. You were right about the CPS. The car started after manipulating the wiring a bit. The insulation is bad on it. Ordered a new part. Will put that on when it arrives and will put the new MAF sensor back on to fix the idling problem.
Hoping for the best.
