Reinstalled the throttle body. The car will start when I press on the gas pedal a little bit. It will not start when I do not touch the...

Son and I are doing a bunch of work on it. We're replacing the head gasket, timing chain tensioner, alternator, starter, coolant hoses, sensors,...

I have a 1998 900SE convertible with 2.0 liter and automatic transmission. The hood release cable has rusted. The part number is 4854097. Is there a source for it? I can’t find it anywhere.

This is my daughter's car. All of the sudden there is significant oil dripping from engine when it’s running.


Today I got under the...

Resolved!


This is my daughter's car.


I noticed that, when I started the car, the ignition switch would stay in the start position after starting; it would not spring back to the run...

I'm north of Dayton, OH. My daughter is a college student up in Cleveland. She has a 1998 Saab 900SE, 2.0 liter w/ turbo.

A week ago the battery on her friend's car died. He had a pair of jumper...

It was too long... it was touching the inside of the bumper. I didn't want to cut a hole in the bumper, so I removed the chrome piece, and then made a cut in the pipe to angle the exhaust gases...

I recently replaced the exhaust system in my 2005 Saab 9-5Arc sedan.


It wasn't too bad of a job, but there were some challengesalong the way.

I documented what did and made a PowerPoint...

I just replaced the rear shocks on our 2005 Saab 9-5 Arc sedan. It’s a pretty easy job except for the (dreaded) rusty nut. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about if you’ve done this job.

I first...

I changed the alternator. Indeed, it was a total pain in the a$$! I was cursing at those Saab engineers the entire time...

I broke a couple hose fittings:

The alternator just crapped out. :(

I’ve watched a couple youtube videos. It looks like a real PITA job. :(

Do I jockey the engine around by putting a...

I have a 2005 Saab 9-5 Arc sedan with 115K miles.

The blower motor/fan for the heater/AC has been acting up over the past few months.

When you first turn on the fan, there is no airflow at all....

The blower motor for the heater/AC has been acting up over the past month. At first, the fan speed was very low, even when the speed was set to maximum, but...

Oh, and just a follow-up:

I replaced the throttle body two and a half weeks ago, and the engine runs perfectly. :) So I'm guessing that was the culprit.

I still have the old throttle body. Not...

A few ideas, ile2010:

1. Is the throttle body in "limp home" mode, perchance? Have you checked it lately?

2. Even though it's "clean," the throttle body could still be bad. (Mine looked clean,...

Thanks Wulf.

Well if it is a B235L engine, then it takes NGK BCPR 6H-11 spark plugs.

But according to your post back in 2011,



So if it is a B235L engine, I should use these spark plugs?

Another Ohioan! :)



I just went ahead and purchased a new one from eEuroparts.



If the throttle body is in limp home mode (and there's an easy way to check if it is or not), it is very...

I have a 2005 Saab 9-5 Arc sedan. The emblem above the right taillight is "2.3T."

I would like to replace the spark plugs, but I first need to know what engine it has.

I did some searching, and...

Thought I would provide an update.

I replaced the throttle body, and now it runs perfectly. :)

But it didn't at first... after I replaced the throttle body, the CIL continued to come on, and...

Was trying to disconnect a rigid vacuum line from an inline disk thingie and I broke the fitting on the disk! Here are a couple photos:

As you can...

Thanks for the reply.


I did some research and it would appear the throttle body is a ticking time bomb on this car, so I just went ahead and ordered a new one. I'll install it this weekend.

We have a 2005 Saab 9-5 Arc sedan with 100K miles on it. It's my wife's daily driver.


A few days ago she said the engine was running rough and wants to die after putting the transmission in...

Appreciate the advice. Will look into those things.

We just purchased a 2005 9-5 Arc sedan with 72000 miles.

It runs O.K., but the idle is a bit rough. The RPM will increase for a second, decrease for a second, and then steady out. Four seconds...
