Welcome to the forum.

Most likely the MAF sensor has gone south. See attachment for testing procedure. If it is turbo it should have the OBD-II port in front of the shifter right under the coin holder. Also see: http://volvospeed.com/Repair/maf_secure.php

Check the tightness of the MAF Connector. If that doesn't eliminate the problem, I would suspect the MAF itself is bad

RE: unknown culprit,,electronics
 

A bad MAF could also throw O2 sensor codes.
