As i can see....the car starts after it sits for a while but after it runs a bit it struggle to get running.

I just re-read a 1st post on this topic....you mentioned that you replaced a bunch of parts.Are those aftermarket or oem parts...especially ECT and sensors? All OEM new and/or used from another Volvo.

When car start and run..does it run rich? No.
Is there a black smoke or black soot from the exhaust? No.
When it first starts...does it run ok before it starts to sputter Yes or it struggles to run the whole time before it dies?

Ha! Good, I don't feel like a noob. Grew up with a 72 yellow super beetle which I learned to drive, shift and spin donuts in winter at 14 yrs. old.

There is a limit on how many times you can be correct?

Indeed, and most of us exceed it without even knowing it.

If you're hooked up to a ventilator and you think Windows Embedded is a bad idea for a life saving device... Then the blue screen of death occurs - I guess it would be at this point you've achieved the maximum you're going to get...

You can choose between the blue screen of death or holding your breath waiting for the next I tunes update.

At least with Mac, when it’s your time, they have an App for that

I Drop.

At times like this a Mac is a death wish because, Apple everyday keeps the doctor away not things that can kill you.

If you ran Linux I'm sure it'd be fixed two days before the error occurred.
