My new car is dying...

I have an 87 Saab 900S (8 valve). When I start it, it refuses to sit at an idle unless I warm it up by holding the gas at around 2500 RPMs or more. After it runs for about a minute I can let off the gas, but it consistently runs at @ 1900 RPMs. I don't understand why. Also, one of my cooling fans doesn't work so if it idles for too long, it overheats. I really want to keep this car since it only costed $50.00. It also needs a new exhaust and a new driver's seat, and a paint job. Does anyone think I should keep it, and if so, how can I get it on the road, legally for a low or reasonable cost. Thanks for your time.

- Yeah, but a $50 Saab could have a 900S's trunk lid, BobR, Thu, 21 Feb 2002 20:54:39
