I was zooming along route 290 thru worcester, ma, in the left lane at 75 mph, when the motor of my 1997 9000cse 2.3 turbo just shut down...was as if the key had been turned off, but it hadn't....the radio stayed on, and the idiot lites didn't come on because the key was unturned.. the turn indicators worked, and, remarkably, the car was still "steerable", the
brakes also continued to work /no compression breaking either, almost like the old 2-stroke free wheeling....only the motor seemed to be affected.. ANYHOW i coasted to a safe stop in the
small brake-down lane...turned off the key, and re-started right up...have driven uneventfully for 250 / 300 miles since....any ideas / what happened?
very strange but remember this is a SAAB....perhaps mine is really a reincarnate of an early 93 / free wheeling turbo ??
please E mail me any thoughts, anyone...
