I had a similar problem when I first got my 87 900. It turned out to be a corroded fuel pump fuse of all things! Check the fuel pump relay and fuse. Take out the relay and put a wire across, so you can hear the fuel pump working (if you don't, then put it in the other way), then start your car. This is dangerous in the case of an accident, but at least it limits your problems to either a 25 cent fuse or a relay. Another recent problem was after I got my oil checked, the gas jockey didn't put the motor oil cap on all the way. After driving, this changed the pressure. Even after letting it sit for a while, it still wouldn't start because the cap wasn't on. Put the cap on all the way and BOOM! Saab started right away! Also, if you're in a cold climate (I'm just below the 60th parallel in Canada), check your block heater and cord. Sometimes it almost starts, but doesn't. Boost (to keep from killing your battery) the puppy and keep on trying. -Chris '87 900 Canada Jeremy McCutcheon <net> wrote in message news:38853482.102FFBD2nopsamhlink.net... > I was just given an 85 or 86 900 turbo.
