93 convertible top wont go down
This happenrd to me the first few times after filling the tank. When the roof stops push the switch to up then back until movement stops then go back to down, eventually it will get rid of all the air in the system and the roof should start to work.
Convertible top won't close
If you look int he holes where the latch goes into, you'll see a little switch. This is not telling the car that the top is closed. You could try to "gently" pry the little arm up, or move the switch a bit (don't force it). You'll most likely find the right position for it, and it will close. Also check the pin for the motor arm. Face the trunk, open, you'll see the top boot. Peel back the weather strip in the top right of the trunk opening, and that will allow the boot to be peeled down. You'll immediately see a golden colored rod with some joints. There is a pin that falls out occasionally, that needs to be tapped back in, or replaced. If the pin is still in the rod, remember the orientation. The pin is tapered. This part is often overlooked, and causes a lot of expenses for troubleshooting.
Half-warm engine start problems.

One possibility is in the the fuel system. It may be the the fuel filter, fuel pump or injecters. You can test fuel pressure to the the injecter rails and change the fuel filter if you haven't already done so.
There is a diagnostic code P1625 for 2001 Saab 9-3
P1625 means that the engine computer has lost communication with the antilock brake and/or traction control computer for at least 3 seconds. How expensive this is depends on why it has lost communication, It could be something as simple as a loose connection at a wiring connector or a broken or shorted wire in the PCI bus circuit inside the wiring harness. (Which may require considerable diagnostic time to find) or it could be an internally failed ABS module.
Recommendation:
If you are NOT experiencing ANY of the symptoms below, I would simply clear the code and move on.... It is an intermittent fault that you will most likely not find very easily. If you ARE experiencing ONE OR MORE of these symptoms, then the problem needs to be diagnosed by checking the ABS module's ability to communicate with a scanner while testing the PCI Bus circuits.
Other possible symptoms of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1625
• Speedometer malfunctioning
• Traction Control malfunctioning
• Antilock Brake System malfunctioning or ABS light on
• Cruise Control malfunctioning

If you have oil in your engine this usually means you are lacking oil pressure. Saabs were prone to producing sludge at the mesh filter which blocks the oil getting to the sump and circulating properly.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!
If you want to know if there's fuel supply turn the key on ON position and loosen the hose to the fuel rail where the fuel injectors are connected. If the fuel spills then you have a good fuel supply and there's no need to replace the fuel pump.
Try to disconnect the positive battery connector and let it sit for atleast 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the car's computer and can get it back to it's normal operation. If the car starts please have the car diagnosed by a scan tool to know the fault code and by then you will know what part needs to be replaced.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
Saab 2001 95 the oil light flickering after
This is an known issue with this engine. The Oil pickup screen is clogged from using non full synthetic oil and / or not being perfect with oil changes. a sludge builds up and clogs the oil pump screen starving the engine from oil. If you continued driving it after the oil light came on you likely need a new engine. Otherwise you need to have the oil pan dropped and the screen cleaned and the engine checked out for damage.
