Hello All!! Back again with another 9-5 v6 problem. It honestly doesn't strike me as that big of a deal because it doesn't seem to really be effecting the driveability that much but I fear it will develop into a bigger problem if not handled. Here is my history so far. I bought this car back...

Hi all, I've got a 2002 9-3 automatic transmission that won't start. I've read through a lot of other "my car won't start!" posts, and I'll outline what I've done below. In one of the threads, though, someone made a passing comment along the lines of "maybe your neutral switch is broken.."...

I own a 2001 Saab 9-3 TID. Today I went to fill up the car and realized that I was adding Super Unleaded not Diesel into the tank. I stopped but not before I added a half a tank to the car. I drove it (at most) 300 meters to a self service garage. I drained the fuel from the tank using a...

I have a 2001 9-5 that has exhibited a problem for maybe two or three years now: It sometimes fails to start (won't even crank) after a short drive and sitting for about an hour. I drive to a pool almost every morning, swim for about an hour, and then drive back. It always starts fine first...

2003 9.3 Convertible. Usual complaint. Won't start, lights etc come on. Cycle the selector and hope it starts. Replaced the NSS (used part). Having same problems again. Before I go and buy a NEW NSS, is there anything else that could be causing this? Is there some adjustment on the...

I've got a 1999 9-3 (red DIC) Convertible that is having a *very* difficult time cold starting. It takes usually 3 - 4 times of turning it over, stopping, turning again, *coughs*, sputters, wheezes, backfires, and finally will start. Once started it will run just fine. It idles fine...

I have a 1996 Saab 900 SE convertible. When I start it I have to hold it in start in order to keep it running. I think it might be the ignition lock cylinder, anyone have a better idea? Thanks :D

I have a 1999 saab 9-3 convertible. Car runs pretty good but recently it has been having intermittent issues starting. The car is a manual transmission and intermittently when turning the key the car does not turn over at all (hot or cold). If I take the key out and put it back in and turn...

Hello there fellow Saabbers... My name is Mathew Wilson. I recently bought a 2001 Saab 9-3 hatchback. It had 185,000 km on it and other then needing new brake pads the car was and is in awesome shape! The previous owner really took good care of this car. I have been driving it now for over two...

It is hesitating/choking on startup every once in a while and when it does a huge puff of smoke comes out and then its fine. From what I have read that would mean the Turbo is getting ready to go. My question is can it be saved and if not what is my lowest cost option? I have run my savings out...

My 2000 Saab 9-3 is having starting issues. All the lights come on the engine won't even crank, but after letting it sit for about 15 minutes, it starts. My SID has the "replace key battery" message displayed. Could the failing key battery be related to its starting issues? Thanks for any...
