Ok, this is what happens.... I was driving home last night on the New Jersey Turnpike. The day before it was running fine. After the engine warms up, there is a engine pop, my wife, who was following me , said that there was a puff of black smoke. I was in the slow lane, so I was able to coast over to the breakdown lane. Once I was completely off the road. I put it in park and started it again. I tried to accerlate, and the call stalls out in the same manner. It was only with a gradual accerlation in the breakdown lane that I was able to get it up to 55mph.
I didn't dare excced that speed , because the same thing might happen again
In any event, I got the car home last night, called a Saab dealer this morning, and am prepared to bite the bullet, by flatbedding it to him tonight.
Two weeks ago, I gave the car to my own mechanic, who works on Saabs. He kept it for two days and said he did not experience the problem. On Saturday I drove from Central jersey to Allentown PA along I-78 and back with no problems.
With the stalling , there also seems to be a buring smell, something like ozone and burning rubber. Does that help you in your dianogsis? Please help... I'm trying like hell to avoid the dealer, but like this its unsafe and undrivable.
