Flew back from Cozumel after 7 diving days & carnival! 5 hr layover in Houston. Back to Albuquerque @ 10PM. Get in the '91 9K which i trust like tomorrows' sunrise. Starts right up after sitting 10 days BUT oil light stays on. Never saw that before, maybe it's just kidding, happy to see me.
Thought it might just flicker off so we rolled. "WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG??" 1.25 mi later....the death rattle, shut her down right then and coasted into the nearest parking lot. Taxi ride to a friends as his line was busy for the hr. I was kicking my butt for being so clever. (He was on line w/TSN). Took a tow up to Santa Fe Next AM so the Smart Folks could tell me the truth. Next AM I get the call. Just needed a new oil pump! Old one couldn't re-prime itself after all oil drained out. Death rattle was the lifters collapsing - an early warning system of Saab Design?? Moral of the story, - use Mobil One and don't leave the Saab sitting.
