Do you have a hubby or boy friend named Guido?
All this might make a difference to the board members that respond to your situation. You definitely have the six cylinder S, and not the 2 litre 4 cylinder turbo (SET), right? And are you taking the car to a shop that is Saab experienced (either dealer or otherwise)? And the gas smell--- was it the smell of raw gas (like from the pump--- if you spilled some gas from the can when you were filling a lawn mower), or was it fumes (burned and oxidized, the sweet and sometimes sulfurous aroma... imagine the last smell James Dean checked out burning up '60's vintage leaded gas in a Porsche Speedster....just before the cliff), however fragrant, of our non renewable resources being usurped to the good of major oil companies everywhere...)? Do tell more.
Hmmmmm.... are you a burper?.... Did you fill the tank with gas and rock the vehicle in order to fill up as much as possible? I'm thinking that you might have some part of your vapor (AS IN GAS FUMES) recovery system compromised). Sometimes when you overfill and "burp" (no allusion meant to tupperware mind you) the car at the gas station, the emissions system sort of shuts ignition down. It gets clogged with raw gas instead of vapor, and doesn't know what to do. Just a thought.
Love, Guido
