What does it look like, where does it sit and what does it do? I'm not sure if my Saab has one or not. I've not heard of it before so I think I don't have one. It is the 8 valve motor. Unfortunately the car is mainly driven by my daughter and has only faulted when she has been in it so I have been unable to investigate the problem when it actually happens. I have just been out in it now and it has behaved as though no problem. But yesterday it broke down and wouldn't restart for about an hour! I even tried a fine spray of water over the distributor cap and leads to the coil in case the "wet weather" suspicion is relevant. But it didn't miss a beat. Pete
