fortunately I have ( my country is small has you know surely ) 2 ex Saab near me around 30 miles at least, they have competent workers but currently selling all their used cars doing repairs but they are too expansive for my budget, an Old man had buying all their spare used parts and he do only Saab repairs in a small workshop, he is locate little more far from me, that's cool even the distance coz nobody can do turbos or ecu refitting in my country.
Thanks guys.
Generalist checked the codes but anyone who's worked on cars in Sweden for 10+ years has some saab knowledge. 😁 Saabs are far from rare over here.
Cps change did nothing apart from getting the tachometer moving on cranking however. All grounds/electrics look fine and I am pretty sure this is a mechanical fault rather than electrics.
I am friends with a proper Saab mechanic who'll give it a 'wrenching' asap. And yes, getting an odbe reader seems like a better and better idea. And I found a guy in the small town where I live whom fixes 'dead pixels'... €25 and you and your own unit in return.
So the plugs were toast and the cassette was too, thing is that the fuel pump crapped out completely as I changed. It was still buzzing but like so many young emos it was all broken inside.
It's fixed now and runs just fine. Gonna take it to a Saabist to give it an overhaul in the near future. Good thing that I am friends with him too and he has all the tools at home.
Good to hear that you have fixed it.
Seems your fuel pump have starved your engine frying the DIC and destroying your plugs
That's my 2 cents
that is interesting if you says if your engine throwing some codes ? and do you know that . you can only change the ignition coils lots of vendors on e bay
If replacing a Direct Ignition Cassette (DI Cassette or DIC) it is preferable to use an OEM part. Many purchasers have found that non-OEM parts have far shorter lives than the genuine article. As these are available from the Saab Webshop I would consider them before resorting to ebay, yes they are more expensive but they offer a guarantee.
did you not found original Saab external manufacturer on ebay ?
