    Your Saab is no different than any other car, it needs fuel, air, compression and spark for ignition, take away any one of these and the car won't start. Most common causes are fuel and spark, make sure you have fuel pressure at the rail and then look to spark. Most common cause for no spark on this old engine is the CPS.

    Thanks Digger, should not have bee so broad of a statement, sorry for that.
    I have at this point changed the CPS, the fuel pump relay, and the fuel pump.
    how does one trouble shoot the coil.

    Thanks

    Best go to the first sticky in the Tech Talk section and download a copy of the WIS, it comes with pictures and the full written procedure.
