TLDR; 2005 9-3 Convertible 2.0t is intermittently going into limp mode and even stalling. I've tried replacing the throttle body and cleaning MAF and the H42-2 connector, but the problem persists. I will be taking it to an auto shop soon, unless anyone has other ideas. I plan to post back once...

Hi all, a couple of days ago I had a message come up saying ‘reduced performance’ with a little picture of a car and a spanner. I cleared the message,and it’s not come back, but the car now appears to be in limp mode. when I accelerate it feels restricted. as it said, reduced power. it’s...

As stated in the title some days I get in the car and all is well. Later that day I start the car and the lights might appear. Turn the car off and back on and the lights might go off. The car runs fine when the lights are on. The brakes also work 100%. Recently I'd be driving and the car...

Kind of new here, hope I'm posting in the right section. About six months ago, my 9-3 2.0t from 2007 had the shifter cable disconnect from the transmission. I examined the part and after some research found that the bushing connecting the two components was missing. I went online and didn't...

Hello - any & all help is much appreciated! None of the threads I have seen Anywhere (here, youtube, other Saab sites, etc) show pictures that look like my engine. They all say to 'Reset the throttle Body' - but mine doesn't look like what they show. I have attached pictures. I would also...

Hi, recently my 2003 9-3 went back into limp mode after not doing so for about a year. I started to look for a solution and found out that there's a defect where the seals on the ecu plugs will contract in cold weather (which would make sense as it's been in the snow lately) and the solution is...

My check engine light has been on for a while but it was running fine. A week ago I started losing acceleration, a couple days ago I can hardly drive it because it takes so long to get up to 30mph. I have a saab 93 2002. I checked the codes and p1107 and p1106 came up. I know they're sensors...

2 days ago, my 2003 9-3 2.0T started accelerating poorly (like I can't even speed up to get into traffic) after it's warm. For the first 10 minutes (until the temp needle reaches the middle) it's fine. I can accelerate / the turbo gauge climbs to almost red and have full power. After the car...

So my ignorant self from 6 months ago didn't know there was a difference between the orange and green coolants. So I topped off the coolant in my 2005 9-3 with green. Seeing as it was November in Minnesota, I had no issues with cooling. Fast forward 6 months, It is now April and my car has...

Any ideas on what would cause intermittent limp mode with check engine light on cold days? Last year it seemed like the temp had to be below 10F to trigger the problem, but now this year it occasionally happens at 30F and below. We have tried cleaning the throttle body and a few other minor...

Hi, I have a 9-3 vector sport 2.2 diesel on a UK 53 plate. The car is in limp mode, the engine light on and is showing fault code P0107 I have just replaced the MAP Sensor, MAF Sensor and the atmospheric Pressure Sensor, but the fault is still there.:( When driving the car after clearing...

I was changing my spark plugs and accidently broke one of the coil pack bolts getting it out. Finished up and drove it to the store to replace the bolt and the engine suddenly kind of 'cut out' and wouldn't rev above 2500. Replaced the bolt, checked everything over, right plugs, torqued down...

Last night my gf car muffler right behind the cat came off . I drove it up on yo ramps and put the piece back in side .. When I pulled the car off the ramps the. Check engine light and gearbox light were on .. Then I realized that the auto lights were not working and the brights won't stay! I'm...

SAAB 9-5, 2002 linear The last couple of days i have been having intermittent problems where the display would go half-bright while displaying all warning lights (CEL, transmission, battery, bakes etc) and the car would become very sluggish kind of like limp mode. At the same time speedometer...

Hello, The car goes into Limp Mode while key is ON during cold mornings, and I have not even turned the engine over. Car sat overnight. It's cold this morning and it goes into Limp Mode when key is ON (I hear the ticking sound). This ONLY happens on a cold morning. It's been pretty hot...

I have an '89 9000 cd that I did the head gasket on about 4000 miles ago. It has been running fine until two days ago when it started dying on the highway and the check engine light started coming on. I got it home cleaned the plugs ( they were black) and checked for vacuum leaks, took it for...

OK, I need some help diagnoising a problem. Overview: 1999, 9-5 Wagon, V6, 293,000 miles. I was accelerating to about 45 mph, when I heard what sounded like air escaping a tire for about 3 seconds. I assumed I had hit something and was losing a tire. Within about 10 more seconds I could feel the...
