Hello
Help!
My 1989 Carlsson 2.0 has stopped running completely now after suddenly playing up.
It started spluttering occasionally and losing power, but would then settle down again for a bit before spluttering again.
Once back in my drive way I started to look under the bonnet to see if there was anything obvious that was loose.
Only found a slightly leaky radiator hose - that's not it!!!
Took a look at SaabScene and found the topic on cleaning a sticky AIC unit. Took mine off and found it was sticky so I cleaned it and sprayed some WD40 and it freed up nicely. BUT it didn't cure the problem.
Now the car starts, revs for a bit and then dies with lots of spluttering!!
Fuel tank got a little low the other day, but it didn't go all the way to empty.
Feels like a fuel supply problem. The tank is almost full (before you ask!!)
Where is the fuel filter on my 1989 2 litre Carly.
Haynes is useless on this one.
Any other suggestions if the filter isn't blocked up with rusty goo??
Many thanks in advance
Charlie
