My wagon has gone pear shaped and I need your help.
Local specialist says the throttle body is seized and will be £715 to replace. No way I'm paying that, but how can it be so much?
Only breaking 9000's I've found are '89 - mines '92. Are the engines compatible?
Please - don't let the beast die!!

Is throttle body the same as throttle housing ?

as I have been offered a saab 9000aero where the throttle housing has gone. THe car is running on cable, and has been for the last 1000 miles and is fine apparrently.

Does running on the cable, reduce performance, and does it make TCS redundant ?

the car is running on "limp mode "
which means a lot of the systems are shut down
ie the a/c the abs and tcs and the throttle is /can be very jerky the boost is also restricted
I have driven my car like this on a couple of occasions and it was almost undrivable imho

if it has been converted to cable then that might be a different story but I believe the abs will be u/s

Running on cable makes the car almost undrivable.

The car will barely idle, will stall and have no progression from 'stalling' to 'too much power'

You will also need leg muscles like linford christie.
