Hi, My daughter at college in Texas has a 9-3 2008 4cylinder convertible with about 80K miles. Two days ago she called saying the car took a long time to start in the morning. This morning she called to say that again the car took a very long time to start. In between these two events, the car started normally. So far, the common thread is sitting overnight.
Based on Saabnet searches, it doesn't sound like the CPS. Another person on Saabnet noted the key fob battery maybe dead. But she tried with the spare this morning. The scary thought is that it is a valve or injector problem, which has happened in these cars. They start hard and rough when cold. Here at least, when it starts it acts normal.
Since there are no Saab mechanics locally, any suggestions to relay to a mechanic will be appreciated.
