Kansas, I called the local SAAB mechanic who also told me about the PCV and brake booster lines. He advised taking a pair of needlenose plyers and squeezing the lines closed as a test to see if the engine would smooth out. I tried this as well as the vacuum advance line on the distributor. None of it helped. I then pulled the booster and the PCV out and sealed up the inlets to the manifold and that didn't change anything either. I squirted a soapy solution around the base of the carb and as much manifold as I could get to in hope of seeing some action. It didn't reveal anything but it did clean things up nicely. I did take it out on the interstate yesterday and drove for about 20 miles. It would cruise at 70 ok with the choke wide open as long as it was under a bit of a load. As soon as I would back off it would start dying. I have a gas analyzer. What should I do with it? I did have it hooked up to the PCV port earlier and it seemed to be sucking normally but I'm not sure what else I should be looking for. One final note. I did a valve job a couple of months ago and I installed a new intake manifold gasket but did not put any sealer on it. Is that a big concern? Thanks
