Default S-40 shutting off at idle

Drum Roll ... The answer was severely "corroded" positive battery cable.
The part that connects to the terminal was extremely thin and totally eaten up at the bottom.

Changed it out with Genuine Volvo and the car starts with a roar !
My good guy mechanic charged me $90 for labor, which I was happy with.

Thanks to all who replied.
