Why would Volvo die after starting and foot us let up off gas pedal?

Possible causes:

- Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) or throttle body issues: The IACV or throttle body may not be functioning correctly, causing the engine to stall when you let go of the gas pedal.

- Vacuum leaks: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean and stall when you let go of the gas pedal.

- Fuel pressure issues: Low fuel pressure can cause the engine to stall when you let go of the gas pedal.

- Dirty fuel injectors: Dirty fuel injectors can cause the engine to run rough and stall when you let go of the gas pedal.

- Faulty oxygen sensor: A faulty oxygen sensor can cause the engine to run rich or lean, which can lead to stalling.

- Faulty ignition system components: Faulty spark plugs, spark plug wires, or distributor can cause the engine to stall.

- Electrical issues: A loose or disconnected electrical connection can cause the engine to stall.

It's recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and fix the issue.
