Subject: 9000 Direct Ignition Cartridge


I just thought I'd jot down my experience of my new Saab 9000 CDE 2.3 (1992). Not long after I bought the car it started to hesitate at low revs and low load. You could knock it down a gear and it would happily drive round above 2000rpm. As described by others the problem has slowly got worse and I have now bought a new (second-hand) DI cartridge from www.parts-asap.co.uk (for those in the UK). Having spoken to Parts ASAP, apparently the problem with these units is that each coil is oil filled for cooling and when the seal goes and the oil leak out, so does its ability to cool and the coils start to loose performance. I guess an oil leak around the spark plugs is a good indicator of this problem. Hope this helps. Regards John
