9000 won't start

My 1996 9000 CS LPT has been running trouble free all year, and has just now refused to start.



My wife drove the car in the morning, no problems. Car turns over fine but does not fire, so the battery is good. Faint petrol smell has me thinking the fuel pump is OK.



There is a faint "burnt electrical" smell so I'm thinking DI cassette. Plugs have been changed within last 10,000 km.



any other candidates? 169,000km on the clock.



cheers,

From the distance on the clock, I'd say DI is most likely.

Worth a try.

Lets hope you didn't replace the spark plugs with Bosch Platnium Plus. They eat SAAB DI cassettes like a cancer.

DI unit replaced and now all good.
