Robert,

You've posted in the wrong 900 forum - the guys over in the NG900 (93 on) will probably be able to help you more

 

this is the classic 900 site not the vaxhall \gm one

 

Robert, first of welcome to the NG900 - OG 9-3 forum, which is more than you got with those old Saabs.

I guess that's better than the other forum where the newer Saabs complain about the psuedo-leather seats squeeking and where to get good wipers.

Anyway, what's the history on your car? Did you just buy it? The problem really sounds like the ignition is not shutting off when the key is switched to Off. Just a guess on my part until you post some more information.

Maybe some others will chime in on your problem too... Ron

Just giving the guy the right advice;ol;

 

Thanks Ron, this is my first Saab, I bought it from a guy about 2 months ago was fed up with it. OBD11 code read 0303, 3rd cylinder misfire, he had put new spark plugs and wires, new distributor and rotor, new fuel injectors. It would start, have a rough idle with white smoke coming from the exhaust, but no power.
I took the head out, put in new valves and seals, new head gasket, intake and exhaust gasket. It starts and idles smoothly, there's compression, sparks on the plugs but the injectors continue to inject when the exhaust valves open. Fuel spews from between the exhaust gasket only when the engine is running.

 

i seem to remember a similar problem on the forums and the answer was that one of the injectors was plugged into the wrong connector ??? im sure someone else will remember better than me though

 

This is a problem for a first class shop with all the equipment and knowledge.
A shame that all these parts were thrown, yet I see no diagnosing/testing/troubleshooting.
I suspect the ECU which controls the fuel injection (Haynes 12-27). ..
As a guess, test using a known good one.
