Rough idle after engine is warm

Dirty air filter, dirty throttle body...try 2 bottles of gas line fuel injector cleaner...has your car been parked for awhile? Heet gas additive will work on any low gas tank sludge that you may have. Hope this helps.

High low idle, rough idle stalling

If it's surging, make sure your radiator is full. Do a tune up, plugs, wires, etc. Put some fuel injector cleaner in your fuel tank. On a cold start the vehicle compensates for being cold by adding fuel. Once it warms up the computer tells it to quit adding extra fuel. If it is a bad sensor of sorts, check engine light should come on.

Engine stalls when making full stop when AC is on, but when I cut it off it's just fine.

Check when idling and warmed up if the rev drops when the AC is on. It may be too low or is running rough. You may have to adjust the idle screw with little adjustments. If the idle is running rough, inspect the idle air control valve. It may be dirty or faulty.

2001 volvo s80 rough ideal below 40 mph especially when the ac is on. Also if i press the throttle while in park or in drive at low speed the ideal gets rough (pulsates and often stalls).

Clicking sound when trying to start and no start (sometimes). I think it sounds like the starter is clicking. it is a lot like when the battery is going dead and does not supply enough power to engage...

Everything you are describing leads me to believe the battery is the culprit.Not enough storage in it after it sets,when it does start the alternator has to work at max to recover from the start making it idle rough,and the fact that it starts good warm tells me that you definitely need a battery.You can confirm this by boosting the truck the next time it starts "just clicking",if it goes with a boost then you will know for sure that the battery is done in.
