Bought '86 900s 16 valve w/102.000 in Nov. 2001. Drove it home 900 mi.
Had high idle problem which caused high heat, but not redline.
Did everything these posts said. Checked and replaced vacuum
hoses,cleaned throttle valve,cleaned AIC. No Luck! Bought the
Bentley manual,also bought an '86 900s turbo. Had a friend do a
4 wheel brake job on the turbo. And while checking vacuum hoses noticed
the AIC valve had clamps and was connected. The 900s bottom hose
wasn't even connected. got a clamp and made the BW very happy.
Conclusion: USE CLAMPS!!! And check for vacuum leaks! This seems to
be the key to Saab consistency. Through it all these Great machines have performed every single day. Strong runners, dependable:-)!! Don't
forget 16 & 17 year old vehicles have to have brittle, leaky vacuum
hoses.
'86 900s 16 valve- 108,000- auto
'86 900s 16 valve Turbo- 172,000-5 speed
