CEL (5 codes) on 01 SAAB 9-3

[thomson65]

Alright boys, I need some help. (before I begin though, seems like an awesome forum! Hate to start out with car help, but here I am) I have a 2001 Saab 9-3 SE and it's pulling a ton of codes:

P1251

P1261

P1312

P1334

P0171




P1312 and P1334 are directing me to the spark plugs and direct injection cassette, so I've ordered new spark plugs and I'm thinking about pulling a DI cassette off a saab at a yard. P1251 and 1261 are throttle body codes, I've cleaned the throttle, reset limp mode, etc, still pulling the codes. what do I do now? replace the throttle body?

P0171 is fuel pump of MAF sensor. I'm 95% sure it's the fuel pump. it dies during spirited driving. the car idles rough and with it being cold it'll stall if I don't give it a bit of gas on a cold start (around 2k rpms)










also. the damn car shakes like a kid with tourettes. I know it needs two front tires, but I wanted to hear any input from other guys that have the same car and see if it could be a suspension issue? I mean it rides smooth, but it's a bit wobbly at times.

Hello and welcome. Make sure to use the recommended NGK plugs. Getting a used DI may work for a while but it's best to get a new one if you are keeping this car for a while.

I am not much help with the other codes but I can post info from the Saab Workshop Information System with technical info if that will help you out.

Some of it is pretty technical but may provide some information where to start looking for the problem.
