Mine doesn't start as fast as some of the other cars I've owned. Usually starts up on the 5th or 6th crank though. I do wait a few seconds for the fuel pump to prime the lines before I turn it over though. I noticed that the original Interstate battery cranked it better than the current replacement (not cheap, Diehard International). Eric wrote: > I'm new to Saabs.
