Honest :) > > Paul > > Vart tog v”gen v”gen? > SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close > Paul, cheers but I have now fitted a graduated boost gauge, Speedparts from Elkparts. I disconnected the APC solenoid and got about 0.22 bar base boost, with the APC I got about 0.6 bar. So I'm not just getting base, just not quite what I am "entitled to" if you get my drift! To be honest she's still a scream on fast roundabouts and goes like a train. It may just be old age, hers not mine! I have another recon AMM from Eurocarparts,and this one seems to be all there, not stutters at 3800rpm, but idles very lumpily at 200-300 rpm. So guess what? Off to Phil and Phils tomorrow for a quick calibration, I'll keep you and the group informed. Cheers Al P.S. Managed to get stuck for four hours at Digley Reservoir yesterday, (Near Holmfirth in Yorkshire) whilst our RAC mechanic searched Dorset for us.......next time we'll sign-up with the very nice man, (Sorry US it's a UK joke only as far as I know) My wife's 9000 Anni' ran out of fuel?!? Comp said 51 miles to go, and fuel light had only just come on a mile before. We parked up, went for a walk and on return 3 hrs later she wouldn't start. RAC took me to get fuel, and vroom vroom jobs a good un. Anyone else got experience of dodgy fuel sender issues on Saabs in general and 9000's in particular?
