Hello again...well the mighty Saab is acting up again....This time she picked the hottest day of the year to it with the temp pushing 45 degree outside....So here are the symptoms etc: Not sure if this is related but...I missed a gear changing down (2nd instead of 4th) so the engine had a bit of a hard time revving etc, I recon the fuel cut-off may have even kicked in..and some time after the problems all started. 1. When cold she runs fine 2. When hot she misses a lot and sometimes struggles to pick up revs etc. She is drivable, but only just enough to crawl home. 3. When I stop the car, the engine is very hot... 4. There is water (green antifreeze stuff) in the water reservoir. 5. I can unscrew the top off the reservoir with no problems...i.e. there is NO pressure. 6. If I squeeze the top radiator hose I can see the fluid level in the reservoir rise. 7. Odd but the Radiator hoses do NOT appear to be under any pressure at all. Any thoughts at all would be much appreciated. Cheers Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time.
