I'm no expert, but I think my  '87 has a sensor on the
power steering pump to prevent stalling at low revs
when turning the steering wheel. Might be able to
check this out. Don't overlook the throttle switch
either.
Point of etiquete: Serious Volvo fans try to avoid
turning the steering wheel when the tires aren't
rolling. Supplosed to save wear on the rack and pump
and such. What does the List say? BOL, George---
