Hey all, I am new to posting but I have been a long time creeper. I have a 1996 Saab 900SE Turbo. The car has a nasty habit of randomly cutting out. There seems to be no correlation between my actions and the cutting out. The following conditions make no difference, it will die...
A/C on or off
Driving for 5 miles or some times it dies after 50 miles
Full tank or nearly empty fuel tank
Freeway speeds or city (Stop/go)
Driving hard or driving Ms. Daisy
There is no error code associated with this, occasionally I get a misfire code but, not when the car dies, I randomly got a P1172 P0300 on start up before the CPS replacement
I have the SRS light lit up but, that has been on for a long time (The car sat for two years before I bought it, the light was on since the first time i started it)
When it dies, the car does not respond to me pressing the pedal, there are no warning lights/SID indicators, and its a smooth/sudden deceleration, feels like when I pull my foot off the gas pedal.

I have replaced...
MAF
Spark Plugs
Fuel Filter
CPS
Ignition Cassette
PCV Nipple

I am getting frustrated with this car!!!:nono;

Have you searched the net for "saab p0300" and P1171? The reader itself doesn't necessarily tell you all--or even some--of the details.

As for the rest of it, are those emissions status monitors? Which ones are unready, which are fail?

P1171
Manufacturer Controlled Fuel And Air Metering
Saab repair manual says this means lean condition closed loop >25%
P0300

Possible causes of OBD code P0300

My vote is that you replaced the ignition cassette with a reburbished unit, which are expensive paperweights. Remove the cassette and take a picture of it including the labels for verification, we can help. Or go back to where you got it and get a replacement.
