zero power in snow saab 95 2002

Feb 25, 2008 2 Replies

Here is the deal. Saab 95 wagon with chains (on front tires, duh)-- just went over teton pass with max speed of (honestly) 6mph. The conditions were packed snow with the road having been recently plowed. My old 900 would cruise these conditions at about 35mph without chains in similar conditions. I tried switching off the 'winter' setting, put the car into 'low 4'--etc. etc. Just no power whatsoever. Lucky to not have an accident as about 100 cars chugged pass going 30-40 mph up the pass. The car drives normally on level dry pavement...any ideas?

Traction control getting a bit paranoid?

Does the Car have TCS (Traction Control) or ESP (Stability Program incl. TCS)? If so, if you press the button on the dash, to disable either, you should get more speed to the wheels. ;o))
