There is NO SUCH THING as a Camshaft sensor on a T7 Saab - it's all done via the Ignition Cassette. You won't get a fault code for a bad Crankshaft sensor ever. Just no starts.

Thanks Burnsside.
So, page 4A-13 of my Haynes Manual says: "The camshaft position sensor is integral with the ignition distributor, refer to Chapter 5B for details of its removal and refitting." and chapter 5 is all about removing the DIC. So, ok, the CPS is a part of the DIC. But if that's the case then what's up with this? 1996 2008 Saab 900 9 3 9 5 Crank Crankshaft Position Sensor | eBay
and this, #16 - Cooling system, Coolant pump, Thermostat 6 Cylinder. Fits: Saab | Jim Ellis Saab Parts
Help me out here... (heading outside to pop the hood now)

That ebay listing is for a crank position sensor which is not what Burnsside was talking about, he was talking about there is NO camshaft position sensor on the 4 cylinder motor.
Now for the DIC the one at eeuroparts is not a OEM version but the Carquest version is.

Hi all - just an update. I took out the aftermarket DIC I bought and took out the spark plugs. The plugs looked just fine. I replaced the plugs, put some more dielectric grease on the tips of the DIC and put it all back together. The check engine light was off for a few days. It came back on two days ago and then when I turned it on this morning it was gone again.
Anybody need a camshaft sensor? - I now have one I don't need
I found this DIC on ebay for $150. What do you think?

Well the check engine light is still off (keeping my fingers crossed!) Anyone care to comment on this DIC that I found?

I would guess so - but I'd wait for one of the more experienced guys to weigh in.
-- in other news, my check engine light is still off! Unfortunately though, when my wife got home today, the top will not open all the way. The last piece, with the glass in it won't raise. I raised it manually, but the tonneau cover won't close. It will open all the way successfully, it just won't close. UGH. I love this car when it works, but its slowly beginning to drive me crazy in addition to draining my checkbook!

Hello I know this post is REALLY old but I have a Saab 2001 Convertible 9-3 and I have been having the same cam shaft sensor code problem! Every one keeps saying there is no cam shaft in this car at all and I'm kinda of stuck now. I dont know what to do! I have already gotten the DIC and my spark plugs replaced and in addition the crank shaft sensor. Please let me know if you can help me in any possible way. I would really appreciate it being that Its been almost a month into trying to figure this out.
