HELP!!!! Iv replaced so much and dont know what else to do.. Every morning i start my 2002 saab 9-3 turbo se and it makes a loud clunk sound followed by revving and then all the meters drop and the engine shuts off.. It hesitates like crazy but if put the gas pedal down a little it stays steady and once warmed up its fine.. Next problem is when at idle everything vibrates and it sounds like the engine is misfiring/skipping.. When coming to a stop while driving it runs especially rough and shakes the whole car.. The final problem is i cant let the turbo meter goes past the yellow because the engine wont keep up w it... If i punch it the turbo meter shoots into the red and starts spinning 100% but the engine is not running up, it is but extremely slowly. PLEASE HELP!!!

Iv replaced the CPS, iv replaced DIC twice, new ngk spark plugs, new motor mounts (3), new MAF and i have a fuel filter on the way.

What do you mean by "the engine isn't keeping up."

Do the rpms on the tachometer shoot up or do they stay low (2k-3k)?

Are you sure that the clutch or auto transmission isn't slipping?.. Ron

The rpms slowly go up as i accelarate. I can reach 100 just have to go really slow accelarating.. How could i tell if the tranny is slipping?

The rpms dont go over 3 normally. The engine just wont accelarate up to that. Its an auto tran
