twas the week before Christmas, and all thru the 'Burg.

my Saab '90 TC just sits like a turd.
it sputters at times, though it start like a champ,
but reliable it's not, and I leave it at home camp... 8-(
I've got my still ill 'vert, posted a few weeks ago with ailing conditions - no idle, and poor running with it not accepting gas. I beleive it was Ari who thought AMM, and thru ebay, got another (Thanks Ari). Now it seems to be better though not ready for daily driving.
Here's what I've got- car starts, idles OK--turbo responds MUCH better than before the AMM replacement- it used to run 1/2 to red, now all but touches red. if I run it, it sumbles a bit when the temp guage is in the 'white zone' between cold and green. If I let it cool for an hour or two, it runs very rough and will not accept gas until back in the green zone of the temp gauge.
Coolant temp sensor checks out per Bentley. AIC valve resistance is OK, but I don't hear any 'buzzing' as listed in the Bentley. It's clean inside the AIC and moves freely.
One last, perhaps unrelated item. It now stumbles a bit(gas starved?) when I punch it and turbo stays pegged at it's max. Thought it's an unrelated gas filter or FPR problem.
Sorry this is long. Any ideas? I'm stumped and out of ideas. Thanks! Joe
