Some antecdents to this :--
-- Few days ago , on hot afternoons, after the car lay for a while, on starting I could see bluish grey fumes come off the exhaust.
-- Around the same time , driving the car in lower gears felt like its going to stop. kind of laggy as if dragging a ton of weight behind it
-- Code showed up on a monsoon day with high humidity.
By and Large would the common conclusion be that the valve needs to change.
All SAAB parts have to be ordered - AZ et all do not like to carrying SAAB & then I have to drive it 60 miles to my mechanic, after I get the part. ( I am no good at ripping through the hood unless I see it done a few times ) . Would I be ok at 40-45 max mph.
What does this valve do. In the absence of this valve is there an alternate mechanism that kicks in and can that remain in place for sometime .
Are there some OTHER parts besides the valve that would help - just in case we open another can of worms . As would be evident, all these would need to be ordered before I can start work.
Thanks
