Car Forum / Saab Cars / March 2008Need help with 2003 9-5 Aero
I want to buy a 2003 9-5 Aero. The vehicle started very rough and it stalled. I started it again and needed to hold my foot on the gas pedal in order to keep it running. What may be the problem? > I want to buy a 2003 9-5 Aero. The vehicle started very rough and it > stalled.

Better not drive the car, it could make it worse. >> I want to buy a 2003 9-5 Aero. The vehicle started very rough and it >> stalled.

Haynes: Fuel filter choked Fuel pump faulty Uneven or low cylinder compression Worn, faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs Vacuum leak at the throttle body, inlet manifold or associated hoses Fuel injection system fault Faulty turbocharger Brakes binding Clutch slipping +IMO head gasket, ignition cassette, poor sensor contact, blocked catalyst Anyway, don't buy the car if it is not running properly. Too much hassle and expense. >>>> I want to buy a 2003 9-5 Aero. The vehicle started very rough and it >>>> stalled.

I would say any of the items above (but for the last 3). > +IMO head gasket, ignition cassette, poor sensor contact, blocked catalyst > > Anyway, don't buy the car if it is not running properly. Too much hassle and expense. Correct. There is no particular known fault that causes the above symptoms, if you are prepared to buy it then start from the ignition cassette and keep going.

Do you think an OBD-II code reader can pinpoint the problem? After all, the Check Engine light was on. Thanks. >> Haynes: >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Whoa!
