What is your question?
I have a 2001 S80 Volvo. Randomly my car will just "cut out" and I can no longer accelerate. RPM maxs at about 1500 when this happens. I then pull over, turn the car off, wait and minute, start the car again, and it is fine until the next time it occurs. Could be right away, or might not happen for the rest of the day. Anybody have any insight into this problem?

This sounds like an electronic throttle module going bad. Is the "check engine" light lit? This would help in diagnosing this problem. Very common problem.
Sounds like a possible throttle module issue, but also could be software related. I would suggest checking for any stored codes. Free diagnostic is available at http://www.volvooflisle.com/specials/service.htm
