TCS Limp Home Resolved. Tech 2. Throttle body.

1993. 125,000
My problem was the throttle body. I had the old one, and like others, it failed. Wisely, I gave up trying to fix this myself. I located a well-qualified, certified Saab tech in Savannah, Rolland Robbins. He owns three 9000's himself. He read the codes with his Tech 2, diagnosed a bad throttle body and replaced it.
The car runs great because in trying to fix the problem myself I ended up getting the engine management system in top working condition. Having had the worst happen, I feel much better about driving the car because I know that the TCS system is not going to fail for a while.
I just feel a little bad that I wasn't able to do this myself, but the lack of a Tech 2 just cut me out of the action. I'm now convinced that when TCS problems reach a point, the car needs to be turned over to a good Saab Tech who will follow the diagnostic procedures, that assume a Tech 2 is available.
The cost? $1075. Ouch! But well worth it. A 1993 Saab 9000 in good working condition is a wonderful car. There are just some limitations in it being a 100 percent project car.
