Emission Control Problems of Volvo S70

My 1999 Volvo S70 has been stalling on a daily basis for some time now. I stall on my way to work; a seven mile drive. I have tried to get it in for service at a local Volvo dealership, but they are "booked up". I have no other means of transportation beside this death trap. I pray all the way to work. Today it refused to idle up to a normal speed (35) and stuck somewhere at 15, so I coasted in until it finally stalled in the parking lot. This is a daily occurrence.

2000 Volvo S70 mileage: 49642 ets (electronic throttle system) light came on. Sudden loss of power, hesitation, and stalling without any indication. Subsequent search on the internet I found out the etm (electronic throttle module) and the ets failures were related and possible recall on parts by Volvo. Serviced at fairfax Volvo (703) 591-1820 on 10/18/2005. Service cost $900. 00.

I have a 1998 Volvo s 70 which has failed DC inspection because the obd scanner used by the dmv cannot get a readout for catalytic converter, oxygen sensor and a couple of other emissions related items. The car ecu signals "not ready". The car runs fine. We have driven the car in accord with Volvo's recommended "structured drive" which is supposed to reset the computer. This did not work. One Volvo shop believes the ecu is faulty. Another says the ecu is fine and its the scanner's inability to communicate with the ecu that is at fault. This shop also reports that he has seen several similar model Volvos over the past month or two with the identical problem. Meanwhile dv dmv says they cannot pass this car unless their scanner gets positive and acceptable readings.
