'85 900S (8v)
Not so long ago I had an issue with my car not starting. It would start after sitting over night, but after warming up it would not start. It would turnover, and you would usually smell fuel. As a temporary solution, I discovered that disconnecting the cold start injector would allow the car to start consistently.
I recently swapped out the cold start injector with my parts car, my car was cold. It started right up. I drove it a bit, parked it, and re-started it a few times with no problem! I let it sit overnight, and then I try to start it, it turns over, but no start. I disconnect the cold start injector, it starts right up. I re-connect the cold start injector, it starts right up.
Now what seems to be happening is that it will turn over for a while when cold, and eventually start. It will be sluggish briefly, then go to warming rpms. After that, it usually starts right up.
Based upon some of what I read, I was thinking it might be tne NTC sensor. I could not find it in the manual, under anything. (Unless I am confused.) I spoke to someone on the SAABnet chat, and they said that the 8v might not have a NTC sensor.
I spoke to another person (jak) on SAABnet chat, and he was thinking that it might be the air/fuel ratio or a disabled injector. This is not *that* big of an issue, but something I would rather it not be, as I do not have the electrical tools to adjust the air/fuel ratio.
Any ideas, suggestions, or anything.. would be great appreciated! I want to get my car running with the cold start, before it gets cold. (FYI, the average temperature that the car has been getting started in is probably about 85F. The temperature references are largely to the state of the engine.)
