God this is TENSE
Hope you find out the root of the issue and get it sorted it can be a stress having an undiagnosed issue but keep your spirits up and keep at it your car is to nice to just throw in the towel now and get rid.
I once rebuilt a 6 cylinder ford cargo in the back alley in the snow because it had work the next day.
Just as I finished (dark by now) the wife told me to come in and get some food and had been for ages.
So I thought I will just turn is over before I go in to eat with the intention of coming out again after.
Anyway just as it fired up the cloth I had been using to wipe my hands shoot up the intake
To say I was mad is putting it mildly.
Anyway 3 hours later I drove it to the yard All AOK
I haven`t gone back and read it all but has anyone suggested the obvious and checked for any Error Codes using a scanner!

Sorry mate,had no time to follow this as a lot been posted in this thread and sorry to hear its still not sorted.Can you list what`s been done so far to save me going thru all the posts,you never know I might have a bright moment.
Hang in there mate. It is still a good car that has decided to have a blonde moment. I can't help thinking you had more air going in than you had going out and that fitting a more free flowing exhaust might have helped to give a better balance?
Then again, I'm a nubcake
Connected the battery up again this morning and went for a nice gentle 20 mile drive so the ECU can 'learn' again, just in case the ECU had not recognised that the original Volvo intake pipe had been put back on and was still pushing more fuel in than was needed. I will go for another gentle drive on Thursday just to be sure.
Also spoke with Tim at Kent Volvo Spares and he has wrapped the downpipe/cat for collection today and I should have it tomorrow.
Hopefully by this time Friday I should have some good news, if not I will be looking at the Rica map as that's the only other thing on the car that has changed since last year.
How long did you have the do88 intake pipe on for ?
It could take a few hundred miles for the ecu to relearn the amount of air going through the maf.

I thought with a reset it took about 20 miles or so
