I am afraid my car might be nearing its end. When its under a heavy load, or after a long distance, it will just stop accelerating. The last time this happened, I pulled over, it idled very roughly for awhile then died. Luckily I was close to home, so I was able to restart and 'crawl' my way back.
I looked around the BB and it looks like it could be just about anything. I checked the spark plugs and the tip of one was a blackish color and the other was whitish (here is a pic - http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pic005ig1.jpg) Also looked like there was oil in the threads. I'm not really sure what this means - it seems weird for them to look different. I'm getting a new air filter, the DIC is only 30k old, anything else I should check??
Hopefully this car will last until I graduate and can get a newer Saab...
