Surging at idle

Surging at idle
Hi everyone,
I have a 99 S80 with the 2.9 and it has developed a surge at idle. It is fine when cold but once it warms up it surges from approximately 650 to 1200 RPMs. It is a constant rythm with a slight "air escaping" sound coming from the area of the intake. Have checked all hoses and can't find a leak. It is my fiance's car so I am not all that familiar with it's other quirks yet. Any ideas anyone?

I ran the vin number and there is not an open recall for it. Too bad, that might have been a real easy fix. Any other suggestions, I really appreciate your help.

I talked to another dealer today and he said there is a recall and they will download the software tomorrow morning (recall 155). Thank you for your info. Hopefully this will take care of that situation.
Another question, do you need any special tools to put struts on the 99 S 80 or is it a fairly easy switchout?
Thank you again for all your help,
Dave

RE: Surging at idle
You are a genius! They downloaded the software and it runs great! At the dealer I pulled up next to two other S80's with the same problem. They all almost surged in unison!
They told me the struts are fine but the seats above the struts are broken. Will I need a special tool for that repair?
They also said the top motor mount is broken. I am going to replace that too.
Your help has been amazing.
