Yes, look for vaccuum leaks. Look at the ends of the intake manifold that serve the outside cylinder. A simple test that sometimes works is to, while the engine is running, spray a bit of WD-40 onto a suspected leak. (like the manifold gaskets or threaded fittings) if the engine revs up, then you know it sucked some of the WD-40. More likely though, one of the hoses is unplugged or split. ================ To send a response, just hit reply! The Saab Network - On the Internet Since 1988 http://www.saabnet.com/
