  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    My 2002 93 SE has a weird issue where it jumps and falls in revs a couple of times before it finally stabilizes out. I'm attaching a video of the revs and I'm not sure if the sound goes through but as soon as it reaches the bottom of revs it vibrates a lot and then is fine and then it does the...

    My saab was working fine when I stored it for maybe a year, and now I'm getting intermittent engine stalling when I'm driving and engage the clutch to break. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance!

    Hey guys I recently purchased my second ever 06 aero, and I noticed that this one idles a little choppier than my old one. I may be imagining it, because this one has the BSR exhaust so maybe I’m just hearing it differently, but it seems to idle poorly when I turn the car off for 15-45 minutes...

    Hello all, I have a new issue on my 2007 9-3 2.0T with 6 speed manual. The car has about 145,000 miles. I did search all the threads I could but I couldn't find anything quite the same. When I coast up to a stop (traffic light or stop sign) I often slide the car into neutral at about 25-30 mph...

    Hey there team. Long time listener, first time caller. I'm working on a 1989 turbo vert that's had some strange idle issues develop. Let me give you a run down and tell me what you think. The car idles high, around 1000-1100, and is pretty steady, does not seem like its hunting too much...

    Hello, yet another problem with my automobile. So the patient is pre facelift 9-3 with b207, and it has the problem with idle - sometimes rpm jump to around 1,1k and then back to regular 720. No codes, I can't see anything obvious under the hood. Problem seems to disappear when I press the...

    "Whoooosh" sound under front passenger side dash/floor area. Sort of like a Keurig coffee maker the last 5 seconds of filling a cup. Maybe inside the wheel well? Usually at idle, right before I turn the car off. My brain says probably evap canister gases being purged or filled or whichever. A...

    First time poster, hopefully someone can finally help me. My brother got a new car and I got his 1999 Saab 9-3 5 speed manual. He had a minor idle issue for the longest time, like 6 months, where idle would dip down to like 500 rpm and jump back up to around 850 - 900 rpm, normal idle. Recently...

    Hi all, I picked up my beautiful Saab 900 Turbo S a couple of weeks ago from a reputable Saab garage with good engineers. Unfortunately over the last week it's been playing up. Luckily it has a 3 month warranty so hoping it will get sorted but wanted some opinions on what it could be. The car...

    I have a an odd misfire issue on my 2.8 V6 that is really puzzling me, and I am hoping someone on here will be able to provide me with some insight. The car on misfires under low load conditions, i.e. sitting at idle, or while maintaining a set RPM in neutral. The misfire can be felt, mostly I...

    So when I start my 1990 900 spg cold, the revs stay relatively low but still around 1,100. As the car warms up it can sometimes get as high as 2,100 but almost always stays around 1,700 once the engines been running. Also, I can't confirm this entirely or even know if this relates to the...

    Hi Folks, I have a 2003 9-3 ARC that runs well when cold but like it is on 2 cylinders when it is hot. It also goes into limp mode - caps out at ~2000rpm. Engine has done 120 000 km and compression on all 4 is around 184psi. I have; - replaced the plugs - replaced coil packs - cleaned...

    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...
  19. C900 Workshop
    Hi all, My c900 (auto) has a strong vibration when idling and at a stop in 'drive'. This will go away when placed in neutral or reverse. I initially thought it might be a bad engine mount, but when I took the car in for its roadworthy inspection, the mechanic (SAAB specialist) said it was a...
  20. C900 Workshop
    Hi everyone, After replacing my head gasket, I'm having an issue where the car idles high, getting worse as it gets to operating temp, where the idle speed starts jumping. I've also noticed that the jumping stops when aircon is turned on (even though the compressor clutch doesn't work). I...
