    Good Morning Experts. I have a 2010 9-3 Aero 2.0 with roughly 130k. The car was running great but had a minor miss fire at idle. I check the plugs, they looked a little old and I replaced them with the same Autolite double plat. that were in the car, and set the gap at 1mm. At...
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hit a nice pothole last week, and jacked up the car and found this :x Priced a new OEM set of springs, but are the OEM ones of good quality or is there a better aftermarket coil?. I was also thinking of replacing the bearing and maybe the top plates? Am I missing anything else? Does the...

    I had this problem when accelerating in my 03 9-3 that the engine would seriously shudder and jerk and the turbo would peg into the red: it was a bad coil, that's all. ;ol;. Check your coils for cracks etc.

    Periodic misfire in cylinder 1 or 2 code P1312. Replaced plugs and cleared code, still comes up periodically. Bought NEW OEM ignition coil off rockauto. I swapped with one of the cylinders and engine sounded terrible, shaky, only 3 cylinders firing. Pulled out coil and put in an extra spark...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Why a tuned (Saab) engine misfires, when stock it does not? My untuned, stock car had no misfires, but when tuned the car misfires when pushed. After having exchanged Q&A’s with Brian at Vtuner, I want to summarize my understanding of the misfiring occurrence like this: A stock engine has...

    On the 04 Vert. Glad I did as I found that the #2 spark plug was about 2 turns loose. Car has been running fine but plug was black compared to the others that looked normal. I had never taken the cover off over the coils and was surprised to find these What year did the black top coil packs...

  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have an 07 9-3 Aero with approx 59k miles on it. It initially started with a "hiccup" every once in a while. Over time, the feeling has changed, and it feels closer to a misfiring. I have not gotten a CEL to date, so I can't be sure. So my question is...is there a way to test the coils...
  9. C900 Workshop
    I have a 1990 900s. Last week it quit on my while driving. No warning... just shut down. Since then I've traced everything down to either the coil/distributor area. I get power to the ignition coil but no spark from the coil wire. I have been on every thread known to man about the Saab on the...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So doing a little research to find that my $1000 estimate from my local shop could be covered by saab. Problem is it's a 04 with 160k on it. Essentially in my opinion metal doesn't deteriorate with miles. It does with age. So has anyone had any luck with having these replaced and not being...

  13. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I'm quite certain I've seen instructions online with photos. From what I recall it's a fairly simply job, but I can't find the instructions anymore and the search feature is disabled on the forum. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
  14. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi Could somebody tell me, is it hard to change the front coils and if it's not too hard could help me with instruction and maybe pics. I need to change to go through on M.O.T. but the garage quoted me 100 pounds. Thanks in advance!
  15. 9-5 Workshop
    (My post title says SID, but I found out it's the CIM) I recently lost my last key to my 2004 95 ARC with only 56K miles on it. I ended up shelling out $1,700 to the local dealer to replace the CIM and cut two new keys. After 2 weeks and 2 tries (the first CIM being faulty apparently), I got my...
