    Hello Forum, After much looking in the forums regarding my 2006 9-5 2.3L baby, I feel stumped ( 'confused' - 473 posts come up searching for SID ) so here is my request for guidance, not for an SID that's missing pixels - just the entire dash acting whacky - then she won't start up unless I let...

    I recently had the ECU of my 04 9-3 sent out to be reprogrammed and when it came back and i put it back in the car, it wouldn't start. The starter does not spin at all.

  7. 9-5 Workshop
    Saab 95 2004 2.3 petrol. 130,000 miles. Love it but has a few foibles. The main one being that it is quite temperamental to start. Sometimes. Sometimes I turn the key and she starts immediately. Other times I can turn the key, hold it and it will be 45 secs before she starts. It goes in phases...
