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.
People use either 3 mm or 4 mm internal diameter silicone vac tube so I don’t think that’s critical. Never heard of the exact length being an issue either, although one presumably cuts the new piece the same length of the old. If tube deformation under -ve or +ve pressures is in fact an issue, there must be loads of cars out there with inaccuracies going on!
I took out the original evap lines in the 2004 9-5 to replace with the post 2005 version, and thought fuel hose would be sufficient. The bit from the evap valve to the NRV near the power steering reservoir sucked itself flat. So it can be an issue.
Perished original rubber vac tubing will deform, I’m sure. What I don’t know is what the result is, because I would think that after the deformation has happened, the pressure would stabilise anyway?
Hello folks,
Have been struggling with p0444 on my 9k. I juggled 3 different evap valves (2 of which I know to be good, but technically wrong p/n, the bosch 300 and 308, but I had success with 308 before). I followed the testing procedure for the manual. Valves measure ~26ohm, resistance from...
Just acquired a 1994 9000 non-turbo 5-speed and will be refreshing it after sitting for over 4 years. It sat near salt marsh for several years so it has surface corrosion on various places and it needs some major cleaning and cosmetic touches. The clutch needs work, no fluid pressure. Got it to...
Does anyone happen to know the thread size and pitch for the nut that screws onto the bushing studs for the manual trans? I looks like it might be M6x1.0 but if someone knows what it is I can avoid buying the wrong size. The engineers of this 9000 model apparently try to utilize every possible...
Hello, i have borroved a tech 2 and bought my Self a tech 2 card with the Right Saab 1998 and bellow software.
How do i remove the immobiliser on the tech 2? I can do much other stuff.
This is my first time using it.
Thanks.
