I received a letter from SAAB on 1-30-2004 telling me to bring the car in for an engine management software update to fiw this hesitation/stalling problem. It appears to have fixed the stalling, but didn't totally fix the hesitation. Other symptoms developed after they applied this fix, however, including what SAAB is calling a 'shift flare', I simply would refer to it as slipping or missing a gear. The tach revs high between the gears sometimes. They applied a subsequent patch for this, telling me that the problem appeared to be specfic to the cars the received the aforementioned update, and the car has only had one 'shift flare' since, but it's only been a week. They also increased the engine iddle offset 50% in an attemp to fix the remaining spongey throttle and it seems to have helped, but the trottle response is still very inconsistent and can be down right misleading at times. I still am hesitent o pull into trraffic for fear I'll be left sitting for a send before the computer gets the signal that you've made the demand to move!
