SAAB and BSR Tunning kit

Aug 13, 2004 5 Replies

I have asked a question abut the before but there has been a further development, so I wanted to check if the advice I received before was still valid. I Have a 97 SAAB 95 2.3lpt



Since I have upgraded the cars software with the BSR kit, at first I used to get a sudden lose of power during acceleration, as if some one had cut the ignition, which produced a jolt. I was advised I should change the plugs, then the DI cassette if the did not work. I have since had the cam chain runners replaced by SAAB, so before it went I reverted it to the original settings then tuned it again when it came out.



I now get, when the engine initially starts but is warm the car performs brilliantly no problem. However after a little while when I try to accelerate and not hard, its as if I have it a rev limiter at around 3-4k rpm. The car will rev to the redline if acceleration is done very gently.



Any ideas?



TIA

Have you talked to BSR about it? What do they have to say?

Cheers!

sounds like overboost cut off

possibly caused by faulty BPC valve you could try cleaning it out before replacing it

causes boost pressure to continue to rise past the set limit and overboost

or the ECU is faulty

They tell me its the spark plugs or the di cassette.

Which plugs are you using?

Cheers!

Not sure to be honest, it has been serviced by SAAB, so I guess they would be what is recommended, I will have a look when I get a minute. BSB recomend only using standard plugs, they claim it is not un common for either the plugs or the di cassette to only fail once the car has been tunes.

Cheers
