Hi guys! My grandpa just gave me his saab 9000 aero ('95, 2.3L turbo, no modifications that I know of). I love the car to death as it is a wonderful drivers car and the only manual I have ever owned / driven. Sadly, it did not pass CA smog. Looking at the results the fuel mixture is too rich. A...

My turbo blew (blue? heh) too much smoke and wrecked my catalytic converter. I have a TD04 on the way with the needed parts for the upgrade for my linear. I am also going to get a new catalytic converter. I don't want just a down pipe. Can I used the 1999 catalytic converter on my 2002? Will I...

I'm shopping for a new exhaust system for my Aero, 3" turbo back because why not? I feel like everything is pointing towards the Krona system with performance cat. My question is, if I get this kit (or another similar), am I going to fail emissions (Ontario) or should I be safe?

Hey guys, I really need your help. So I bought this 2006 9-3 about a year ago from Canada (I live in NH). The car was running really rough when I bought it but had no check engine lights it turns out the ecu was for the latest model 9-3 so I sent it in to BCB and they sent me the "correct" ecu...

Hello everyone, a friend of mine has an issue with getting the correct catalytic converter for his 2005 9-3 arc. He ordered one from RockAuto but it did not work. His mechanic said that it looked different then the original one and the check engine light came on again. Can someone please point...

Hey folks, I'm looking at 9-3 in a few days which is labeled as a mechanic's special. It's been taken to two dealerships and two indies for various bits. The car has had a pretty good service record but it looks like it failed emissions because of high NO x. The coolant system has been...

I just completed a clutch replacement this month and replaced engine oil while I was down there. Car's driving wonderfully but every once in awhile when idling it will turn off. It doesn't really stutter or stumble (maybe the tiniest bit). It'll be idling right below 1k (I don't know where...

Hi all, I went to emissions test today and failed because they said there was no voltage at the obd connector and it didn't communicate. But I was able to plug my own handheld obd scan tool and it was working fine. So I couldn't really understand the reason why they didn't get any voltage...

I have a 1988 SAAB 900 Turbo Convertible that has failed California SMOG. Have had it tested 3 times. Once after each batch of repairs, and fiddling. I don't believe the CAT is bad as the CO2 content is high (good). I eventually got the 25 mph test to pass by a large margin but failed the 15 mph...

I have a 2001 93 that just failed emissions ;oops: and I have the codes that caused the failure. About 2 yrs ago I replace the original engine with an Ecopower 2.0 Turbo. I've been looking up the codes online as I want to attempt to fix these gremlins myself, the codes are as follows: P0455...

ok as some of you know from a previous post i swapped a 99 9-3 2.0l motor into a 96 900se turbo the car runs and drives good but i cannot get it inspected because the O2 sensor, heated O2 circuit, catalyst, and evap. system are "not ready" according to the sheet the inspection station gave me...

Hi, i have a 1995 Saab 900s with the 2.3 N/A, do i have a egr valve or any type of exhaust gas re-circulatory system ? Thanks

Hi Everyone! I just did quite a bit of research with the help of this forum and others on a problem I was having with my 1999 Saab 9-3 convertible. Hopefully this post will help someone who has the same problem. One day, I was sitting at a stoplight and suddenly the idle fell dramatically...
