Wading thru the hundreds of posts on here about this, because it happened today. I'll continue to scroll thru for a possible solution, but figured I'll post the symptoms. (1997 900SE 2.0t, 5 speed vert. 137k miles. Purchased 2 months ago. Very clean, service docs, ran smoothly.) When I first...

2005 Saab 93 Arc 2.0T Battery runs down while sitting overnight, the head light switch never did work. But always had DL lights so I never thought about fixing them. When I say never worked I mean when I turned it in any position nothing happened. I think when I first bought the car the...

Hi, I just changed the spark plugs in my 2005 Saab 9-3. I turned the car on and at first it wanted to choke and shut off but then it turned and idled well. I turned on the car off twice and turned it on. I left my friends garage and drove it for 10 minutes and had no problem and parked it at my...

My car charging system seemed fine. Then a few mornings ago my battery was completely dead. It is a new-ish battery (replaced it a few months ago). I got my car jump started but as soon as I disconnected cables from other car the 9-5 died. Pulled out the 900 verti and put the 9-5 battery on...

Saab puzzler, car not responding Car was running beautifully. After a drive around town running errands etc., I pulled into the driveway and turned off the engine, but returned the key to ON to listen to the last bits of a radio talk show for five minutes. Please note the day lights and amp...

I have a 1996 Saab 900 that is my clunker, it's been a great car but about two months ago I hit a pot hole and the car just quit. It cranks fine, the fuel pump is almost new. From everything I've done there is no fire. I have run bench test on the coil and it is firing (whether or not it's hot...

This afternoon I got word that my Saab's turbo has blown and possibly my engine too. The car needs new brake pads, most likely new rotors and a new oil pan also. Do you think I should fix all of the problems, try to sell the car for what it is, or just junk it? Fixing it could cost ~$1000...

I was driving my 900 when I started to hear a clicking noise from under the hood. About 5 minutes after, my headlights started to dim and the battery light turned on. I parked the car in my driveway and now a boost will just get it to run for a few minutes. I was just wondering how to go about...

Hey all! Got a bit of a thing and I'm rather confused at the moment. here's what happened. Last night coming home i hit a rather nasty pothole and the car went dead. After investigating, i found that the APC fuse (#24) had blown. Replaced it and still no-go. I pulled the DI cassette...

When i purchased this 99 9-3 there was a hardly noticeable lifter tick, only on cold startup. Now unfortunately the tick has turned into a loud tapping and sounds like it is coming from the head. I am aware of oil starvation issues with these motors which is why i think it has to be a stuck...

Hey all, got a rather simple one for you. Just wanting to get a consensus on if my fears may be :cry:true:cry:. Battery had a bad cell in it a few months ago so I've just recently gotten a new battery and the ole girl (ok, 2003, so not that old) is having issues starting in the morning. She has...

I have a 1999 Saab 93 (B204L) with 103,000 miles on it. When its running its great! However, if I drive for a bit and stop somewhere for a short time (<30 minutes), when I go to start it nothing happens. The instrument panel, SID, etc light up, but it will not turn over. This happens in the...

Last night, while driving home, the Viggen started to sputter and just had a horrible time keeping up speed. When under boost, the CEL started to flash (gasp). I had an appointment with the machanic the next morning to get a new clutch & flywheel installed, so it was timely. ...so I thought...

I just took the 'ol 900 on a 600 mile trip and it worked flawlessly. On the way home, I was only able to find 85 octane unleaded and noticed a ping when accellerating so i took it a little easy until I got home. I put some good BP premium in the tank at home, drove 2 blocks and the car started...

I have a 2003 9-3 Arc. Went for a drive when I attempted to come home the car does not start now. I have fuel pressure, it does not turn over. I get a slight click when I turn the key. I was able to push jump start the car and get home. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
