uneven idling

hiya, after replacing the drive chains on my 1998 9-5 2.3 turbo. i seem to have developed an uneven idle. i have had it code read a couple of times, but shows no fault! i think i may have routed a vacuum pipe wrongly, but have no reference to look at. can any 1 shed some light on the situation please?? also, the turbo has been replaced recently! thanks

Could be a dirty throttle body, have a look at this thread on Saabscene;

I think many Saab owners, like myself, are going to experience carburation problems arising from the corrosive effect of ethanol added to gasoline fuels. I have recently experienced a poor carburation problem traced to recent corrosion in the fuel distributor. Bosche will need to change some of the components if their design is to survive ethanol fuels.
