So I bought a 05 9-3 with 187xxx miles on it for 300$, The only problem was the exhaust was cut straight on the Downpipe from the headers, I threw on some exhaust piping and a cheap cherry bomb just so it had something till I found a better system. I’ve put fuel cleaner in it, all fluid swaps...

Let me start by saying that I love my Saab. After the unfortunate demise of my former 2000 9-5 Aero, I shopped around for 6 months before I found this one. For the past three weeks, however, we have had issues that seem to keep compounding. It all began... Husband smells antifreeze outside of...

I was driving home today and filled up the gas tank at a Liberty. Put premium 93 in and got back on the road, within less than a mile the car starts sputtering and I have a hard time keeping it from stalling, having to almost floor it just to get to limp into a parking lot. Popped the hood to...

Does anyone know for sure if the 1995 900s 2.3L non-turbo uses OBD II or OBD I? I heard some late 1995 model cars were OBD II compliant. Just got a check engine light and I need to find out whats wrong. My car sputters horribly! If I push on the gas quickly the motor bogs out especially on...
