Saab 900 turbo

[wisewood]

mate has a saab 900 turbo and its cutting out at idle, and runs fine till you put your foot down and give it some, and then it seems to have a fuelling problem... any ideas?

[Fester]

but he cud also get the engin adjusted so thats fixed sell som smokk the car and buy a opel or vauxhall 8) and be happy :wink:

[wisewood]

Yes well he could do all of that couldnt he... but then again - he might not want to - he might just quite like the idea of fixing his saab.

I know and you know that he would be better off with a vauxhall - but each to their own... so does anyone have any idea of how to actually solve the problem without using petrol and a zippo?

SAAB 900 Turbos have a seriously complicated injection system, that was designed in the seventies, (when the air was clean and sex was filthy).
Get an independant specialist to look at it .

Been talkin to phil g and we reckon its probably the turbo on its way out.


Mate is takin it somewhere tomorrow.

My mate is takin the car to a local garage that specialises in european stuff - so hopefully they will get it sorted.
