Hey everyone , man have I been enjoying my Aero. High speed highway driving from Wyoming to Utah to Colorado , anything from snow to mountain passes to ice to curves this car has been flying and I have been getting 35 MPG, and I’m driving her pretty hard. These 9000s are awesome freeway cars! Also once I fixed the vac leak on the boost gauge I have cruise control back. It’s hard to explain but I love the feel of these cars. I still love the C900s but they are just different beasts. On a highway trip I’d choose this 9000 almost every time I think.
On to the MAP line... So I blew the vac line off under full boost and stuttered and limped a couple miles home before finding out what the problem was. I reattached the line but it was stretched and dry rotted so I went by Napa yesterday and replaced the line. But I have since searched a bit and found that these lines need to be a specific length and diameter and material , or are supposed to be at least.
I didn’t measure the old line and the replacement line is a bit narrower in diameter. Should I order the part from Saab or just keep my existing fix? She seems to be running fine but I don’t want to have timing or mixture errors from the line being wrong and feeding the wrong pressures to the MAP sensor. Experts chime in! Thanks and hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
