Okay I just joined this forum and hopefully you saab experts can help me out before I have a couple of ulcers.
Here is my situation (if you guys care, haha). I bought my first saab about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Its a 2000 Saab 9-3SE 61k. After having it a day the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealer I bought it from, he checked the code said it wasn't a big deal and to bring it back the following week. I brought it back he said he had to order another part because it was a different code this time. I believe at first it was a fuel mixture code?? the next time he said something about a crank sensor. Anyways he ended up changing the DIC which I can see is common. After he did that he said he checked the gasoline and said it was bad gas. He saved a sample and told me if anything went wrong with the fuel system it would be the gas stations fault, not his and that their insurance would cover the costs.
Now the gas station I bought my gas from is brand new and I haven't heard anyone having problems with their gas. So after the mechanic drained my half tank of gas and put in 1/8 of a tank I filled it up at a different station and the day after I got my car back I went to start it and it stalled. It will not start with the ACC on and if I turn it off it sometimes starts but usually i have to hit the gas right after it starts to keep it going.
Any suggestions on what it could be?
