sounds funny... Posted by JimBlake [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: '87 900S Problems, Joe McLaughlin, Fri, 8 Nov 2002 20:05:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Maybe only one of the three things is bad... How exactly did it 'Zonk out'? Starter & lock cylinder have nothing to do with running along, so if it died while driving, then I'd look elsewhere. Ignition, fuel injection, ???
I'm not sure what Justin meant, but I thought the ignition switch is separate from the lock cylinder. Most cars they are attached directly to each other, end-to-end. Saab 900s have them physically separate, inside the shifter box. The lock cylinder is just that... a lock cylinder. If the key goes in & turns & doesn't feel 'wrong', then it should be OK.
The ignition switch is just a rotary switch. It could have flaky electrical contacts, so that while you're driving, it 'turns off' the car.
If it stalled while you were driving, I don't see how anybody could blame the starter for that...
How about a description of how exactly did it 'Zonk out'?
