The car in question is an '06 9-3 Aero with roughly 128,000 miles on it. A few months ago, I drove it for a good part of a day and it drove perfectly fine. Then, the next day I started it and after about 30 seconds of running normal idle, it started misfiring, the engine light came on, and...

I have a 2008 Saab 9-3 with the 4 cyl 2.0t. I really need new coil packs and I tried to google it but results are very unclear and all over the place. Does anyone use coils from a different brand/model? Or have a link to the ones I should use? I appreciate any help, thank you

I have an 03 9-3 Linear and been trying to fix the dreaded p0300 code. The only other code to pop up for a little was a P0411, but for right now it's gone and I don't care for it. As for the misfires, I replaced my plugs with some NGK Iridium IX's all gapped at .037 inches and also 4 coil packs...

Car has 53,000 miles. It’s been throwing me p0300 codes...i’ve changed the spark plugs to ngks(old ones looked good) and tried unplugging each coil pack one by one(while car was running) and each time the rpms dropped. Not really sure what else is next. Car feels like it runs fine, so i’m not...

We've taken our 2001 saab 9-5 SE 3.0T (lol) V6 on a seattle-to-LA road trip every year for a few years (2) perfectly fine. The third year, the car made it about 6-8 hours into oregon, started misfiring, and died shortly after. To make the story short, we rented a car to get to LA and I picked up...

I was driving my 2007 9-3 2.0t convertible on the interstate the other day, suddenly the car started running very rough and the check engine light started flashing. I pulled over, (didn't shut the engine) opened the hood for a quick visual. Minute later the flashing and check engine light...

Hey I have an issue with a misfire giving a rough cold engine idle, once warm there is just an ever so slight rumble in the back of the seat , the engine finally threw up a code, ( once in the whole time) of cylinder 4 misfire. I have change engine temp sensor, lamba sensor, coil pack, cleaned...

Hi guys I was wondering if any of you had any ideas about this problem I have. Basically I recently got me an OG 9-3 which came with a black DI cassette. I know this is a tronic 5 engine (oil cap in centre) and I wanted to use the correct cassette so I bought a red one from ebay which the seller...

Cylinder(s) misfires upon starting the car and stays that way under all rpm in neutral or under load. Leave the car out for a day or two and the problem is gone. I start the car again and it runs perfectly. I turn the car off for a few hours and go to start it... the cycle repeats. What's wrong...

I have an 06 9-3. I have had a misfire I can't figure out. When I reset car by touching POS and NEG together every thing starts off great. After a a few miles the check engine light comes on and it misfires like crazy at increasing rpm. Light is crankshaft position sensor. Actually it says...

Hi all, I'm nearly stuck on my search for the cause of a mystery misfire in cylinder 1 of my 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero 2.8L Manual... My BlueDriver code reader is spitting out P0201 and P0301, and after replacing the cylinder 1 coil and plug, all the injectors, and performing countless tests, I have...

Hey guys, I am new to the Saab Central and to Saab stories all together... lol I am a big ecotec fan and picked up a 2010 9-3 2.0T for $3k, 227k miles but one owner and garage kept. Anyway when i first got it (Jan 2019) I noticed if i held the peddle down in high gear (when i have should been...

Car: 2006 Sportcombi 2.0T Issue: Wednesday, I get into my car to head to work and it starts up fine. I forgot my wallet, turn off car after it had been running for about 2 mins, and run inside. When i come back out and start it up, a crazy shaking occurs from engine bay and my tailpipe is...

Hello everyone, longtime lurker and Saab owner here. I've recently been given the chance to purchase an 07 9-5 Aero, but the owner describes the car as "the car jerks when you go to accelerate and the engine light starts blinking". My first instinct would be either the throttle body or the DIC...

I've been getting a weird surge or misfire lately right after stopping the car after creeping along, like navigating a parking garage slowly. It doesn't happen all the time so it's hard to tell exactly what it's behavior is. I don't think I have bad valves, the car starts up immediately when...

Okay, so I know that these codes are relatively common, so pardon me if there is a go-to thread on the issues. I was driving along the highway when I had a backfire and lost power. I was able to limp off the highway and then home, but not before I stopped in and got a readout on my check engine...

hey guys. i have a 2006 9-3 arc with 196k miles. I noticed a Check Engine Light today when i left the starbucks parking lot and i went straight to autozone to get it checked. It was P0300 (random misfire detected). What might be the cause of it? Things that are worth mentioning that might be...
