97 900 2.3nt auto, my 13th SAAb

Hi fellow Saabnet folks. I have been a reader for a long time, but rarely have posted. I just bought another Saab, because I needed another car. My 1991 900 n/t 5speed has been great for the last four years, but it sometimes doesn't start so I figured I'd buy another Saab to see if I can have 2 cars that I love but don't always work well.
My 1991 is a beauty, body is perfect, leather is re-sewn, just did the headliner, it just won't start once in a while. (haven't had the voltmeter with me to do the EZK diagnosis during the rare times that it won't start) Still drive it, but ever since I started keeping the volt meter in that car, it starts and runs great every time.
Since I didn't want to trust that my beloved 91 900 would start every day, I bought another saab. I have never ventured into the "new" generation of Saabs, but I found a 1997 900 2.3 n/t auto that was in great shape. it was on craig's list so I bought it for $1000. It runs great, auto trans works perfect, brand new tires, body is very nice, 3 spoke rims, 2 door hatchback. I really like this thing! And fellow Saab owners.... guess what it needs? A headliner, guess i should have known.
The bad? It has no jack. (no idea why) Throttle cable is making the pedal stick in any location. Idle hunts a bit. Rear muffler leaks a bit (no biggie, I'll just weld it). Otherwise I love my "new" Saab!
