- 2000 9-5 2.3t
Stalls after 10 seconds, Turbo just replaced
[FONT=verdana]I just replaced the turbo on my 2000 Saab 9-5 2.3t. I got it running and burned off all the oil and what-not. After running it for about 40 minutes it decided to start stalling. When I start it up it sounds great but stalls out at the 10 second mark.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]Could this be a vacuum issue? Throttle body maybe? Throttle position sensor?[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]Also, when I had it on the freeway it ran great. If I gave it heavy acceleration to 4000+ rpms it would drop back down then "spike" back up to 4500+ rpms (on it's own) then die out and refuse to start.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]Any help/direction would be much appreciated![/FONT]

Turned out to be the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Replaced it and everything runs great!
