2000 V70r Flashing Check Engine Light V70-XC70

Girlfriend has had a V70r for about a month now. 65k miles. In the past couple of weeks there has started to be what sounds like an occasional miss at full throttle and it has taken 20-30 seconds of cranking to start. I just replaced the spark plugs and ran a can of sea foam and it didnt help. Today she came home and said the check engine was flashing and the car was barely running with no power and no acceleration -- sounds like it was in limp mode. I tried to run a scan tool on it and the scan started, flashed the display on the tool, and then locked the tool up at a blank screen. I had to take the batteries out to reset it. The tool is an AutoXray EZLink that is on loan from Checker Auto Parts.

Anyone have any idea what I can try next?

Thanks,

Rob
