Hi folks, I've done some research on high idling issues but haven't quite found my particular situation. My 5-speed manual 1996 Saab 900S 2.3 convertible (non-Turbo) idles high after I press down on the accelerator but it drops back to normal idle after the engine warms up. It's been quite...

My 1990 SPG idles normally when cold and warming up, but once warm will rev up to 1500-2000 RPM and then drop back down to 1000, and repeat on 5-10 seconds intervals. I've cleaned the MAF, put seafoam spray through the throttle body and cleaned out the idle control valve. All vacuum lines are...

I was driving my 2001 Saab 9-5 wagon. 3.0. And the car was putting when it was at idle. I brought it to the mechanic and he thought it was the spark plugs. It stopped for a couple miles, but now it is doing it again. Does anyone have any idea as to what this could be?

Hi all, I have a 1997 2.3l n/a 900s. When I restart the car after a rest of 15 minutes or longer I get a pulsing idle. Once the engine is running and the car has moved for a minute or two all is good again. When it does pulse I can restore a regular idle by pumping the brake pedal (guess the...

Hi everyone, I own a 1986 900 EMS and lately as i start it up, it coughs and splutters and struggles a bit, aswell as when i put the clutch in as i'm slowing down at an intersection, it shudders and struggles. I get the feeling it's flooding, and maybe I should tune the mix screw? I took it...
