  1. C900 Workshop
    Greetings fellow 900 owners. Just picked up a 91 Turbo with the 2.0 for a great deal, but it came with some baggage…. CEL was on, would stall on any sudden acceleration/load on the engine (although if you worked the pedal the right way, it would run and drive). Also is idle hunting/surging...
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    hey all! I own an 03 9-3 Linear. I’ve had it for a while now and for the last two years or so I have experienced a troublesome code. It’s a p0411 code, meaning secondary air injection is out of spec. I live in New York so we have annual emission inspections, and my car will not pass this year...

    Hey all! Recently my 9-3 TurboX has begun to flash the "cornering headlights malfunction" sign. I'm not exactly sure how I can diagnose the issue, so if anyone knows where to begin looking, i.e. fuses or connections, I would greatly appreciate it! I haven't really paid attention to whether the...

    Hi, I have a 2005 9-3 sedan with ~80k miles. Occasionally, the check engine light will turn on and the car will enter limp mode without warning. The last time this happened, I was on a highway and the car suddenly stalled, with no way to move again until I reset the check engine light (which...

    So my saab since I got it hasn't made over 5psi of boost. It breaks up sometimes I changed the plugs. I often times get reduced engine power Contact service after I turn the car off and turn it back on. Can't find any boost leaks. Unplugged the line from my boost pressure control valve to the...

    Hi all! Hope everyone is doing great. It’s been consistently -10 to -20 degrees this past week here and my 92’ 900S is my daily. The only problem it’s been giving me is a consistent check engine light that does not go away. I’ve had it come on before every once and a while and only after lots...

    Cylinder(s) misfires upon starting the car and stays that way under all rpm in neutral or under load. Leave the car out for a day or two and the problem is gone. I start the car again and it runs perfectly. I turn the car off for a few hours and go to start it... the cycle repeats. What's wrong...

    I just bought a 2005 Saab 2.0T I did an oil change, the oil wasn’t reading in the dip stick. I let it go over night, the oil read but the check engine light came on. (I use mobile 1 engine oil and filter as i have a sticker stating to use mobile 1) I have a code reader, obviously scanned the...

    On Wednesday the battery in my car died. I went to the store and replaced it with a slightly better battery One that had around 115 more Cold Cranking Amps. On Friday, the problems began. As i am driving the speedometer will go to 0, and the ABS, TCS, and check engine light will light up...
  11. 9-5 Workshop
    I recently bought a 2007 Saab 9-5 2.3t. The check engine light came on after a fast acceleration. I took it to an O'Reilly Auto Parts store to do a free check engine light test. They got a P1181 code. Their scanner didn't have any info on it but they looked it up online and said that the part...
  12. C900 Workshop
    Puzzling -- my 1994 900 Turbo Convertible runs great. Just had head gasket changed. Great performance, perfect idle, great acceleration, nothing you would think is out of ordinary EXCEPT the "check engine" light comes on after a lengthy (3-4 min) idle (particularly in hot weather). Once I add...

    The CEL comes on periodically, about once or twice per month. The car runs as normally, when I turn the engine office the CEP does not appear. It's not until after I drive for several weeks or So the CEL appears, again the car runs smoothly. So after a stop to get it checked at Auto Zone...

    Hi guys, I'm having a problem. Just today I notice that the turbo flutters when lifting off the accelerator. When I got home the engine light went on and it came up with the code P1110. I googled the code and it says "Change air bypass valve". I want to know if there is an easy fix and is the...
  15. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I recently bought myself a 1999 saab 9-3 2l SE. When we drove it back home it stalled as we were driving. After about 20 minutes it started back up again, and we parked it. The car has a check engine light. It runs for about 15-20minutes before it stalls. Anyone here who knows what it may be...

    Hey guys i'm new to the Saab world as I just bought a 2006 9-3 Aero 2.8 as my first Saab just yesterday. The woman who sold it to me told me there were no problems with it. Well this morning I took her for a drive and the engine code P0411 came up. What can I do to try to fix this myself? How...
  17. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi, My old Passat died a few weeks ago. I went out and found a dirt cheap 9-5 -05 for about $2.000. I knew the guy selling it obviously wasn't telling me all the faults of it and now I think I found the biggest issue yet. We've had some very cold days here were I live (-20F, -28C) and one...

    My check engine light was on, I took it in, they said the O2 sensor had overheated and shorted and as part of the repair they moved the harness further away from the exhaust. I'm curious if this is a common problem with 2001 9-5s? The mechanic's report is: ECM DTC'S P1135( O2 SENSOR HEATER...
