your throttle body is icing up, call your local volvo dealership and they should be able to fix it for you, there was a recall on 850's because of this.

Also make sure your hose at the throttle body isn't swelling holding the throttle open. I had it happen to me but then the hose blew.

EDIT thats if it is a turbo car.
