my engine starts fine, after getting warmed up it starts cutting out then it will start backfiring. I have changed the fuel filter and added some fuel treatment not sure what to try next. I have a full tank of gas also.

Welcome,
When you post add any info you can get.
Year, hp and all the letters and #s.
A 5.7GI has about 8 different listings???
Do a fuel pump pressure test.
You have a manual?
Volvo manuals are pricey but well worth the $
I don't know the specs but someone might post them.
A Clymer or Seloc has a lot of info but generally lacks the specs
The coil if it's bad can have the same results.
Run it and get it to where it's failing.
Then touch the coil. See how hot it is.
If you can leave your fingers on it it's not bad.
Too hot to touch=bad.
