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 Saab because they don’t have a tech to work on it. They “hope to have a tech to work on them again in the new year.”

Anybody know of another rebuilder?

As 9-5r suggests, try the UK
There's a guy I've dealt with loads of times, found him real helpful and doesn't charge an arm and a leg
Uk based breaker , he does international delivery. Name's Pete Raw
Contact form on his website

Thanks for the tip. I'll follow up!

I have a couple of what were working TB's sitting around, both without the limp home solenoid on them since I've broken a couple taking engines out and putting them back. If you want to send me enough to ship it to you I'll send you one.

PM me and I'll send you my email. you can pre-make a USPS medium flat rate box label and send it to me and I'll pack it in the box and ship it.
Thanks! I found a rebuilder that I'm going to give a try. I'll PM you if that doesn't work out. Much appreciated!

If you're curious, here's the rebuilder: Saab 9-5 Throttle Body
