  1. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I recently purchased a 99 9-5 and the vehicle pulls throttle at 2k rpms. It will bounce hard off that rpm and jerk repeatedly until throttle is off and will do it again when it hits that range. I could drive it if I kept rpms below 2k. I was pulling p1251 and p1260 codes. I looked into the...

    9-5 2002 Aero. New M/Y2005 Complete Engine with turbo fitted in 2006. I have a random misfire/hesitation on deceleration, no CEL and no problems on acceleration just this annoying thing happening. It did actually cut out today when coming to a stop, but not entirely sure it's connected. I'm...

    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,

    Can anyone help? I have a 2.5 year old 93 Vector sport wagon 1.9ttid 6 speed auto. When I touch the throttle pedal from idle the engine rpm jumps instantly up to 1400/1500rpm. No matter how gentle you are on the throttle the revs jump? Could this be the cause of an ongoing problem (since car was...

    Need some help to reduce my possible outgoig costs. During the freezing weather over Christmas, my98 SE 2.0 Eco, sometimes wouldn't start (by the way CE light has been ON for over a year). If I caught it on the throttle quickly then it was OK - but if not it cranked away with what apeared to...

    I have a 2001 9-3 2.0 lpt and had the throttle body go into limp home mode and engine warning light come on. Engine wont idle when started but once warm seems to just about run OK in limp home mode. Was looking to change the throttle body at great expence, but then noticed that the the...

  9. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi All! Was having a problem with my Aero surging on the highway. I decided to try cleaning the throttle body to see if it makes a difference. I didn't remove it from the car, just sprayed and tooth brushed it. It came out looking great. Does it make a difference not removing it? Took it...
  10. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi and thanks in advance for any help. I found my saab 95 2.0L LPT to be underpowered since i bought it a year ago. So i had it decatted and replaced the o2 sensor, map sensor, maf meter and also had the oil and sump breather pipe oil catcher work done with a new filter and fully synthetic oil +...
  11. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I have recently done a cylinder head gasket & valve stem seal replacement on my 05 2.3 (220) to cure oil on start up. Since the rebuild the car has been running like an absolute pig at idle or no engine load. It is fine when it is under acceleration, so i've been going through all vacuum hoses...
  12. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    ECL came on and car is in limp home mode. No noises and was not on whilst driving before parking for an hour. I have taken off and cleaned the EGR valve and taken off battery and pulled fuses. Watched a couple of You tube vids about re setting limp home mode on petrol models and followed a...
  13. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I've had a minor annoyance for some time with my 9-3 1.8t saloon, on a light throttle when slowing for a turning there is a slight hesitancy or jerking as if the fuel mixture is wrong. This was reported at the last two services and each time I was told that there was no fault code showing any...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    MY TB has popped again into limp home mode - 3rd time in 7 months amd twice recently so I'm gonna replace it. Found a firm who can supply a recon with a 2 year warranty for £125 - trouble is they need exact pt no (fair enough) Can anyone supply the part no? My car is a MY2002 2.3 HOT Aero. BTW...
  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    I removed the ICV and in doing so unclipped another hose going into the bottom of the throttle body. The hose was full of water. Is that correct? Should there be water going to the throttle body? I'm having issues with the car stalling at low revs, and struggling at high revs. I read about...
  16. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi Gents, My MY2001 Aero just popped its CEL on a trip today, preceeded by 4 clicks from the RH dash area. Every other vital seems fine, and I had no choice but to do another 70 miles, with fine accelaration and power although I didnt push it. If I pull fuse 17 it goes out but light is back on...

  18. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    So Ive replaced my turbo ater it blew and the whole hose PCV kit and the car is now working again and seems to be going well. What I still have however is a small amount of oil coming from around the throttle body. Anyone any ideas? I thought it could be from the intercooler (which was a bit...

    Hi there, I have a 2001 9-3 Aero Coupe (80k) which last year threw the dreaded P1231 Fault Code and all associated symptoms. I took off the throttle body and gave it a thorough clean, reset from limp mode and cleared all the fault codes. The problem seemed to dissappear for about 6 months. The...
