A few months ago I was driving my 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero when all the sudden out of nowhere my engine started stuttering and most likely went in to limp mode (shutting of the misfiring cylinder.). I checked the codes with my reader and came up with a P0203 and P0303. Thinking it was an issue with my...

I took off the injectors, refurbished them and swapped injectors on cylinder 3 with the injector on cylinder 4 and yet the problem remains on cylinder 3. I tested the line continuity between the wiring harness and the injector and that seemed fine as well (maybe wiggling or disturbing the wire...

Hey everyone, so basically, after some hard driving, my car my made a loud whoosh sound; at roughly 75-80mph.

Hello Everyone, I have a 1999 9-3 SE with a red DIC and its in need (I think) of a another one. I have experience some intermittent stuttering or shuttering when I drive it on the highway for a long time or long periods of city driving. I think is the DIC mostly because the previous owner put an...

So I have just recently hit a wall of problems with my saab, water pump went, o2 sensor went, and now the car stutters under acceleration. The car has been running on a bad o2 sensor for quite a while if this has anything to do with carbon buildup. I have also been told it might be an ignition...

Hello Everyone, I recently had my radiator replaced due to a front end accident. Everything is fine on my 2000 Saab 9-3 SE, except for a vibration on my steering wheel due to low RPMs when it is in drive or reverse, and even more when i turn the wheel. Also the other day when i hopped on the...
