Automatic Performance Control ... There is a Swedish translation, too :) It was designed around 1982 and launched somewhere around 1983. It is essentially a knock sensor with an electronic brain to give maximum performance given any grade of fuel. It was present on all C900 turbo cars from around 1983 with the exception of the LPT model. Look on the LHS wing/fender for a black or red box with the words "Strydon Control Unit". <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Performance_Control> Simple, ingenious and keeps the C900 running. People who complain that the C900 is not a good boosted or lacks performance invariably have a non-working APC system. Keep it in good shape and the car will keep lovin' ya :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
