  1. C900 Workshop
    I have an '87 900s, non-turbo, and a few weeks ago it started sputtering, and then died. I figured it was the fuel pump, so I ordered a new one (I did not have time to troubleshoot in the week and didn't want wait another week to order). I fitted in and it seemed to fix the problem (but it...

  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi guys, really would like to beat myself for this rookie mistake but i think could help others: After i changed the serpentine v-belt on my 2008 2.8l SAAB i found that it had some problems. Symptoms rough idle and deep hesitation under heavy acceleration. no ecm codes. Really went mad trying...
  4. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    My 04 SAAB 9-3 2.0t has a lean code, random misfire code, and a purge valve malfunction code. I did a fuel pressure test and got 10 psi while priming the pump and just under 40 psi while running. Car has intermittent misfires and bad hesitation at time. Any suggestions?
  5. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi everyone, first post. Been using this site for years now and have saved literally 1000's of dollars. Thanks so much. 2001 Saab 9-5 2.3T with 225k miles, pretty certain the engine was replaced at 120k (that's what the previous owner told me). The car was given to me for free, so was pretty...
  6. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hello! I am new to the forum and unsure of where to post for the 900se. So here's my issue, I hope it can be helped. I've owned my saab for about 3000 miles now, done a basic tune up (oil, air, fuel filters, spark plugs, oil, new gas, coolant and a spit shine) and noticed after driving it...
  7. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    This is on a '97 900S 2.3 N/A 5 speed manual car. I have this problem. It happens once warm (rarely if ever when cold). If I rev suddenly from idle I get a split second of hesitation. A slight stumble and all is fine afterwards. It's slowly getting worse over the last six months. Enough that...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So about a month ago, I noticed my car didn't have as much power as it had when I bought it. It seemed kind of sluggish, and seemed to hesitate and surge a bit, but I thought nothing of it at the time since it's very cold out. After a while it got worse... and worse... and even more...
  9. C900 Workshop
    Sorry if this multiplies the post - old one didn't seem to show up. I own a 1993 900S and I am experiencing hesitation problems and delayed starting issues. Here is what i have recently done to the car (we can rule out) - battery, alt+ps belts, fuel filter, mass air flow meter, cleaned throttle...
