Greetings fellow 900 owners. Just picked up a 91 Turbo with the 2.0 for a great deal, but it came with some baggage…. CEL was on, would stall on any sudden acceleration/load on the engine (although if you worked the pedal the right way, it would run and drive). Also is idle hunting/surging...

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...

So, I bought a 2007 Saab 93 2.0t with 224k miles on it from a official Saab sellers. Guys where Saab mechanics as well. I noticed a couple days ago that when I turn my car on and crank it up on a cold start it will turn on but I can feel it wants to kind of die. It will lightly sputter and I can...

I have severe vibration in the engine.. So bad my entire car shakes and exhaust does. Randomly it settles down to almost nothing, other times its severe and has no power. Misfiring, stalled once. Runs terrible at times and somewhat fine other times. Rpms are sticking for a few seconds longer...

Hello everyone, I have a 2009 Saab 9-3 2.8 with XWD. My car has been tuned to Stage 2 by Brian at Vtuner and I cannot figure out what my issue is for the life of me. The car experiences boost cuts. At WOT it will cut from 15lbs to 5lbs and I can feel the power loss. It happens most of the time...

So about 2 weeks ago I bought a 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T. Checking it about, everything ran great, it ran smooth, nice A/C, etc. Well not even 4 days after owning it the traction control failure warning came on twice and the clock reset itself and it was just acting weird. Upon research it sounded...

Hello guys, I have a '93 900 S 2.1 with running/idling issues. On cold start it starts and idles normally but after hard driving, or highway driving it will have an erratic idle and sometimes die completely. The issue doesn't come up on steady state cruising and I've driven for hours on the...

Hello everyone I have received help from reading this site and would like to say thanks to all who have posted there knowledge for everyone to read. I have recently had a problem with my car and after hours of searching finally fixed the problem and would like to share my knowledge with you. My...

I just completed a clutch replacement this month and replaced engine oil while I was down there. Car's driving wonderfully but every once in awhile when idling it will turn off. It doesn't really stutter or stumble (maybe the tiniest bit). It'll be idling right below 1k (I don't know where...

I currently own a Saab 1998 900 SE Turbo with an idling problem. After a few minutes of idling, the engine seems to "chug" every 15-20 seconds or so. Every once in a while, the entire car actually stall out. I have replaced the IAC valve and PCV nipple, as well as checked for vacuum leaks using...

I have a 96 Saab 900 SE Turbo, as we all know it had lots of little issues and the most recent one to stump me is an issue of stalling. My Saab stalls when I clutch but only if my foot has been off the gas long enough for the engine and turbo to relax a little. It also has a greater chance of...

Hello, I am new here and wanted some help badly. I am not that technically skilled, but I need to have some idea what is going on to get it fixed and not waste money. I bought a 2006 93 2.0T sportcombi a few months ago and its been nothing but trouble since. First the fuel pump needed...

So this morning i got into my car to go to work and after pulling out of the drive way my 95 didnt have much power and started sputtering like its gonna stall but then revs its self up but after it did that a couple of times it just stalled. It revs its self up in little spurts too when not...

Hi there, I've done a couple of searches but I'm really stuck as to what's making my lovely Saab 9-5 2-0t Automatic (2004) stall when brakes are applied. My first notion was that the Cranckshaft Position Sensor was screwed (again), but the symptoms are different this time around. The...

This morning the power window on the passenger side decides not to work anymore. It was lifting it up, it goes 1/3 of the way and stalls. I hit the down button and it expressed down and stays. The passenger door lock still works however.

...so after figuring out that it was NOT the head gasket and getting it put back together, it fired right up. There's a video of it starting and idling on my facebook, but it's not public unfortunately. It idles great, 850-900 RPM (guessing, sorry I'm used to a Honda tach where every 100 RPMs...

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...

Hi, Have a 1999 2.0 9-3 vert which started to slightly hesitate under light acceleration (or rather throttle lift off and then light re-apply) in 5th on motorway -didn't think much of it to start with -just thought maybe revs were a little low and maybe I should have changed down! Like 3 soft...

Hello, I just recently bought a 2001 9-5, 2.3t that had some engine noise. I got a good deal on it, so I've been working on it. So far, I have cleaned out the oil sump, replaced the main a rod bearings, installed new head, intake and exhaust gaskets, and replaced 3 of the 16 hydraulic tappets...
