( all covered in the warentee ) seems the previous software also had some issue that was also causing the thing to attempt to start from second gear not first , that will slow you down , all related to the attempt to use this junk gas and make the car preform well and quietly. The software change worked great and its like new again. Seems you need a lot more "stuff " under the hood to keep a semi high preformance engine running on this crap . Have to wonder what will happen when these cars are out of warentee and I have to pick up the tab for all the computer issues .
Thanks for the response and I'm glad you got it fixed...for the time being anyway.
I never had any luck with Volvo's or Saab's. They were too expensive to fix and not all mechanics liked working on them.
