Hi Forum, I have a '92 900xs but it's developed a fast running problem when idling which is variable between 1200 and 1800 rpm. I've checked the accelerator linkage and it returns properly, and the engine runs well with normal exhaust and not black fumes, so it doesn't seem to be too much fuel...

Hi, have a 55 plate 93 aero convertible. Car when in neutral slowly revs drop to about 700 according to dial. Car then begins to Chug and vibrate. It's not threatening to stall but almost seems like it's revving too low and vibrates a lot? Is this a common problem? Has anyone any ideas?

2 weeks ago I noticed a lot os smoke coming from my exhaust when sat in traffic. I pulled up in a car park to check oil, which was below level, so topped up and attempted to drive home. I found that I was getting a lot of smoke whenever I came to a stand still in traffic and had lumpy idle...

I recently had idling issue with my 2001 Saab 9-3 SE Conv. [130k]. I checked the engine compartment after I heard a suction noise and found a open hose which must have come off from a black kind of valve. I was able to put the hose back to the valve and the engine would immediatly go back to...

I have a 1997 900SE 2.5 litre V6 Saab 5 door hatch with 155,600k's on the clock. Last winter I locked it in the garage (ill health) and didn't use it for about 6 months. In the early summer I retrieved her and started her - she ran fine but started to misfire. The misfire cleared and I drove...
