coincidence??
Filled up with gas and a few hours later was hard starting. Put in some injector cleaner and drove it around for a half an hour, all seemed fine except I noticed that it did not always upshift normally. I could manually get it to upshift.Let it sit a few days and it started right up, went for a ride and ran fine, still not always upshifting as it should. It is a 2008 Roadster. Hard starting and not shifting a coincidence??

Re: studebaker57
That would imply you are pressing farther on the pedal, opening the throttle more to get the car to run - the computer will see this (I guess) as if you are pulling more of a load, or you are at high altitude. How else can it compensate for this other than delay the shifting?
SOunds to me like you already know what the issue is: Bad Gas.
Injector cleaner won't fix that - either burn the gas out of it by driving or drain the tank - then buy 'good' gas and see where it goes from there.

Now, I have not had personal experience with "bad gas" in at least 30 years, but I DO hear about it from time to time.
