Salutations:
Well I have gremlins that I can't pin down.
1993 - SAAB 9000 2.3 Aero 5 speed.Prev Owner - Mods: Switched TCS Replaced TCS controller Head Gasket Cut out Karmon Audio Head replace with Sony Xwave
Gremlins:
When I picked it up, all seemed fine for a fairly long trip back home.
Then a couple of days later - SRS light kicks up.. Gave up fixing it under recall, pulled bulb - thank you SAAB/Isuzu Halifax - so nice too know my previous *decade* of business with you was worth so much of your attention when I needed some help with a model I didn't buy with you because you don't sell them anymore - no I don't want a 9^5... Grrrrr..
It has been kicking check engine codes 5 and 7 irregularly for a while and kicked into limp mode a couple of times - so I replaced the DI. Hoses are starting to harden up - so have replaced one or two and gave it a new OS sensor.
Voltage seemed irregular - had the alternator serviced by a good shop and it's now running strong and even.
Still kicking code 7, which seems to go away on it's own every so often if I don't get around to pulling the battery. Mostly after a hesitant starting situation. Hard start - short while later the check engine light goes out. However, this seemed linked to limp home and DI replacement.
My dash lights seem to work almost opposite. They seem to brighten up when I cover the dash sensor - they seem to get darker when I remove my finger.
The ACC unit did something odd recently. I seem to suddenly start running full tilt - then turned itself off while in heater function. I had reset it and it seemed to go away.
The dash voltage seems to read between 10-13.9 (cold start in the morning)
- but the voltage at the battery is dead on at 14.1-2 as it should be.
I am not seeing the boost figures I should in the dash and it ran about
170hp on the dyno at the wheels. This is supposed to be about 50hp light for the aero, my turbo gauge runs into the broken yellow and no further.Finally - no cruise control. This can be more expensive around here than you can imagine having now picked up my first speeding ticket in about 15 years (140kph in a passing lane in a 110kph zone).
I'm about to start the work sheet for the spring as I expected to be fixing some bugs with the system. Would appreciate any leads on any of the above for this model and year you might have.
Cheers.
