  1. NG 9-5 Workshop
    Non-mechanically inclined friend has a 2010 9-5 4 Cyl FWD. All the issues and codes expected with a bad throttle body are present. After looking through WIS I still have a removal question (I am not close by his house otherwise I would look) Can you pull the throttle body out without removing...

    Hi. Brand new DieHard H6-AGM Battery dead after a week or so. I'd been having throttle body issues and I was hoping a new battery might help, but it died in about a week and will not recharge. Came back with "Battery Failure" over and over. When I brought it back to Advanced Auto they said...

    Last night while driving home someone cut me off and I hit the brakes. Right after that happened my check engine light came on. Could be coincidence I don't know. About 5 minutes later my car went into limp home mode with very little power. Ugh,.. it's that damn throttle body again. This would...

    Hey all, I am planning on cleaning the Throttle body on my car. And I noticed there were no tutorials or how-to's on this one. It seems relatively straightforward. There's only one part I'm unsure about: what is the procedure to reset the butterfly valve after completing the cleaning? Do you...

    I got this dreadful code the other day on my Saab 9-3 2.0T from 2008. I've been opting to do all repairs for my car myself typically as much as I can ever since I got this darling and now I've hit this snag that I see is dreaded but not really documented on how its been fixed on these forums...

    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...

    Hi all. I was hoping someone could help me understand what I'm seeing here when I run the Throttle Position sensor test from the Tech 2. Here is a video of the full test running on my car: My questions are: Is that buzzing noise it is making normal? And I also noticed that the movement...
  8. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello All! I'm seeking guidance on diagnosing my car's intermittent starting issues. On the first start attempt, the car will start, stumble, and quickly stall; only to be restarted and run completely fine. It only seems happen when the car is cold and has been sitting overnight, so I don't...

    Okay just picked up this new (to me) 2010 9-3 6 MT it’s my first stick that I own I learned on a different car. So basically I first noticed it after the long drive back from picking it up I was in town and around 3rd gear around 1900-2400 rpm I would let off to just coast and it would kinda...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, I have a 2005 9-3 sedan with ~80k miles. Occasionally, the check engine light will turn on and the car will enter limp mode without warning. The last time this happened, I was on a highway and the car suddenly stalled, with no way to move again until I reset the check engine light (which...

    Hi everyone. I got a P2135 code and was wondering if anyone else here has used this throttle body. It seems to have good reviews. I have a 2005 Arc 9-3 convertible. Also, does anyone know where to find info. on the reset procedure after installing? Thanks for your help. Jim

    I've been doing some work on our 2004 saab 9-3 2.0t and trying to get it back to daily driver condition. Just a little background on this particular car: The check engine came on and my obd scan tool shows the following codes: P0638 - Throttle control actuator Control Range/ Performance Bank...

    Alright im working on my 04 9-3. About 2 weeks ago I got put in limp mode for a p2138. iv read I think almost every post on here in regards to the code with no luck. So far I have removed the 2 connectors under the batter and soldered each wire together and heat shirnked that did nothing even...
  14. 9-5 Workshop
    We've taken our 2001 saab 9-5 SE 3.0T (lol) V6 on a seattle-to-LA road trip every year for a few years (2) perfectly fine. The third year, the car made it about 6-8 hours into oregon, started misfiring, and died shortly after. To make the story short, we rented a car to get to LA and I picked up...

    I have a P1230 code on my 2002 9-5 Aero -- dead throttle body. I opened up the electric motor side of the throttle body and all wiring insulation has crumbled to dust. Tried calling BBA Remain. (I've seen that recommended on some of the forums.) BBA said they currently have no rebuilds for...
  16. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I was in the middle of making my way back home when my gas pedal became extremely stiff out of nowhere and very slow acceleration at the top end of the rpm range. It will still go up to the top of the rpm range but it takes alot of force on the gas pedal. T7 9-3. What do you guys think? Throttle...
  17. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi All, I have a 2001 9-3 which had a throttle body problem, intermittent jerking on acceleration, loss of power, stalling at idle etc. I replaced it with an old one from a 9-5 (that I knew wasn't perfect but it ran fine for a while) I opened up the old one and the wires all had the insulation...
  18. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi all, I have replaced the throttle body on my 9-3 with an old one I had hanging around. It works but not perfect. I started to pull the old one apart to see if I could fix it and found that the wires inside have nearly all got their insulation gone. Almost as though it had burned off but not...

    Hello all, I just replaced the turbo in my 2002 9-3 2.0 which was no small feat for someone with a limited experience level btw. Anyway, I ran the car for about 15 mins and watched the smoke from the exhaust continue to pour out and check for any leaks. I noticed oil dripping from parts of the...
  20. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    So I've been trying to get my CEL to turn off (P0101 - MAF sensor performance) for a good while. I changed out the MAF sensor, throttle body, and vacuum lines but it just won't turn off. The other day while I was entering the freeway, it suddenly started bucking at about 2100 RPM. I could...
