Check for vacuum leaks under the Intake Manifold/Plenum. I would almost guarantee it is the PCV System and it will need to be replaced. IPD has entire systems for sale on line cheaper than Volvo. you will also need a new intake gasket as well.

Can I change my 1998Volvo S70 emergency brake or is it a job for dealership? I have fixed many things myself. If yes, how do I fix them?

What is the problem with your emergency brake?

If it is the shoes, you just need to remove the rear brake rotor to access the e-brake shoes. If it is the cable that needs adjusting, you can access it by removing the center console.

Rough idle, Car shakes, sputters and misfires upon acceleration

It sounds like you may have a problem feeding the fuel to your engine, I had the same problem with my 89 RS. All the 1989 model's fuel systems were recalled. I think you may need a new fuel pump. The fuel pump is located inside the gas tank in the rear of the car right under the rear axle. The fuel pump itself isn't too expensive, but with other small parts such as the electrical harness upgrade and fuel filter and the labor you should be looking somewhere in the $500 range. I hope this helps.

2000 Volvo s70 sedan won't run smoothly when holding it at a steady acceleration

Sounds like fuel starvation. Would suggest cleaning any filters in the fuel line or replacing.
Also check the stop idle valve. This should be inline in the air intake pipe to the intake manifold..
Remove it and clean with WD40.Make sure you note the orientation of the spring.
To reset the ECU disconnect the battery for 5 minute the reconnect. The ECU should reset to factory settings. Make sure you know radio and alarm codes!
Try petrol additive STP or Redex to clean inside the engine.
Thats as far as my knowledge goes, hope it helps.
