    Hi, Our trusty 9-3 has developed an issue with the clutch pedal going straight to the floor- if you pump the pedal it sometimes comes back up but has got worse over the past few days so we dare not drive it anymore. Everything points to the clutch master cylinder needing bleeding/seals issue...

    My 1996 Saab 900SE non-turbo runs fine until I park for, say, an hour. The car will stall and/or sputter for the first 5 min on the road, then it runs fine. This is terrible if I'm in town driving at low speeds and frequent stops. This is a new problem for me. Could it be the CPS, the...

    My '92 is a nonturbo with lh 2.4.2, I was just wondering what parameters the ecu uses when running in open loop mode to determine fueling. Thanks,

    Wifes car-tonight turned but wouldn't start.As she was pointing down a hill she tried to bump it off.Ran for 200 yards then coughed and died-will not fire again.Just to be on the safe side and to rule out the obvious, she ran round to the nearest garage and got a can of unleaded-still no joy...

    Hi everyone, I'm a new saab owner of 9000CDE 2.3 non-turbo (1993) with trionic (?). The "check engine" light is constantly on. Tried to retrieve the EDU fault code, it blinks 4 times - mean, coolant temp. sensor. But the sensor seems to be OK, as well as the engine temp (according to the gauge...

    Hi, I have a 1999 9-3 s. Since I bought it I cannot use the CD player (in the boot) as the head unit asks for the CD code. I do not have this code, nor do the Saab dealers, as I checked. Is there any way of finding this, or can they be 'decoded'? The stereo is original, with tape deck which is...

    I have a nonturbo '92 16valve 900. I was wondering if it is possible/safe to install a turbocharger in a nonturbo model? If so, what all is needed? New ECU? etc?

I just want to know what can I use for an ecu for my turbo set up I'm just going to be using the lpt pushing 6 pounds of boost...

    This is a follow up from a wee while back. I eventually (thanks Trollbooster) worked out that I have a knock sensor issue vis a 4 Flash Code. <LI>Now I did a little research on these bizarre little creatures. I read about tapping the manifold etc. to test the sensor but some say that's the way...

    Someone at work is selling a "1993 black (grey velour interior) Classic Saab 900i 16 valve 2.1 litre Aero, 5 speed manual" that he brought back from Australia with him. I have found out about the strange 2.1 litre engine (never knew that existed), but am suprised that Saab would make an Aero...

    Hi! Can't seem to find a non-factory Saab shop manual past 1988? Replacing clutch (cable, not slave cylinder) and having problem separating transaxle from 2.3 L engine. Does K-member have to come down? Am trying to remove passenger side half-shaft, but pillow block under alternator is no fun...

    Hello, I have a non turbo 9000 CS and wondered if anyone has tried using an electric supercharger like the e-ram? http://www.electricsupercharger.com/ It looks like a reasonable idea, any ideas about how easy they are to fit and whereabouts the AMM should go etc? Cheers, Mike
