The first thing I would do is check for diagnostic codes if your car is equipped with the diagnostic connector. I'm not sure if 1987 models were equipped with it, though. https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=122474

It sounds like an issue with either the MAF or throttle position sensor. Could also be a fuel delivery issue, but being that it sounds like it's only when hot, that leads me to the MAF.
