Recently had a similar experience with my 1995 2.3 LPT 9000 CSE. Mine occurred after a fuel stop - no warning, just failed to ignite. At the time, opinions here (a.a.s) were: 1) fuel pump fuse 2) DI box (but opinion seemed to be that you'd have been warned some time in advance, then) 3) Fuel pump. Turned out to be the fuel pump. Took me a couple of hours (including getting a new pump unit from the local dealer, checking the web for procedures (the 9K's pump is embedded in the fuel tank, and required considerable force to come off) - all taking place at the gas station where it gave up... A hammer and not-too-sharp screwdriver / mallet is invaluable. Feels a little strange hammering away at a device embedded in 60 liters of gas, though.... Had the extinguisher withing reach at all times. Not complicated, just hard :) (and you'll smell of gas for a day or two). A colleague (non-SAAB) reported having once listened to the very obvious sound of a fuel pump increasing in revs when decelerating, as he was running 'on vapours'. Probably doesn't increase pump life :) regards Per "justsid" <sidcliffenospamFFsidcliffe.fsnet.co.uk> wrote in message news:c6cv31$8ac$1nospamg4.svr.pol.co.uk... > Forgot to mention 2.3 LTP engine,and that I have no workshop manual so > some pointers as to what is where would be helpful. > justsid > "justsid" <sidcliffenospamFFsidcliffe.fsnet.co.uk> wrote in message > news:c6cuqc$82t$1nospamg4.svr.pol.co.uk... > > 5 year old 9.5 SE auto saloon. > > Parked car outside garage 5.0pm yesterday after a 20 mile smooth > > run,with no sign of trouble. > > Tried to start 2 hours later,engine turned over briskly,but it would > not > > fire.Tried repeatedly. > > Checked all the fuses I thought relevant,all OK. > > The only slightly out of ordinary thing I did during the last journey > > was to press the "Auto and "Off" ACC buttons in an attempt to get the > > "Auto" sign to re-appear.(Has not been showing for some weeks). > > Now stuck about 20 miles from nearest Saab dealer. > > Any help appreciated, before I start burning a hole in my bank > balance. > > > > justsid > > > > > > > > > >
