2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen Questions & Answers
I have a 2000 Saab 9-3 SE with 147k miles, I drove
if the engine is still running without noises , stop worrying
the turbo could have died in which case have it replaced
yes the fault codes may reveal the area of the fault but if it is a mechanical failure , it may not show up
engine lights report on engine AND transmission faults so the indicated problem may be electronic related to the transmission controls
2001 Saab 95 se driver/passenger windows.
A car I owned the left rear window did that. I could pull it up by taking a hold of it while another person held the switch. They told me the problem was the track was made out of plastic and it had broken. They had to replace the track. Yes it was expensive to repair but is ok now.

Here is what I could find on it:
P1300 Random Misfire Detected. Catalyst Damaging.
Chances are that the Saab Ignition cassette is failing. You can find them on ebay, I recommend a new one since it is a common failure. Best to put new plugs in it while you are at it.
Easy to change, you just need a T-30 Torx (4 small bolts)
and one electrical connector on top of the engine. Oh and a good spark plug wrench.
2003 saab 95 aero misfire
I see no one else has posted an answer for you here yet so I will take a stab at it for you. The P1300 codes I am familiar with on the Saab's are P1334 and P1312 which almost always means the ignition cassette is failing. Most of the time the car will still run good, at least at first anyway getting worse over time. They are not cheap, ebay has the lowest prices and most availability that I know of. They are very easy to replace, just one electrical connector and four large torx screws right on top of the engine. If you have a black one replace it with black, red with red. To be absolutely sure you get the right one it's best to match part numbers. That being said most of the ones I have used have been interchangeable as long as they are the same color & # of cylinders.
1999 lexus check engine lights on
Hi Angie:The check engine light is reserved only for Powertrain problems that could have an impact on the emissions systems.Exactly
what the OBD system looks for depends on the make, model and year. The
original systems varied widely in their capabilities.
Some did little more than check whether the
various electronic sensors and actuators were hooked up and working.I suggest scanned the PCM computer (Powertrain COntrol Module) to know exactly what fault code is stored there.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.
I have engine codes p103
P103 Mass or Volume Air flow Circuit High Input
P107 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Low Input
Maybe the P103 code trigger the other one, you could try cleaning the MAF sensor.
Then put the scanner and erase the codes.
Another trick that sometimes work is to cover half of the tube just bebore the maff with duct tape, that will make the MAF to percieve less flow making the car to work a little better.
SAAB 9-5 LINEAR TID DIESEL SALOON 3.0 DIESEL THE
I had the same problem on my 9-5 vector 3.0 TiD with the top up coolant warning. Nearly became bankrupt trying to diagnose the problem and trips to Saab. Header tank, sensors, pressure tested etc. The Saab squaddies couldn't figure it out until it got worse. It's a head gasket failure despite passing pressure tests initially...sounds like it's still early days on yours. Had to replace the engine for near £5000.but under warranty :-) Reckon 2.5-3k at a good specialists.

Here is a link to a
Dayco PDF file that will have a belt diagram for you. Find you car on the main page, fine the number to the diagram and thats how you belt routes. Depends on month of manufacture yours could have 2 guide or tensioner pulleys. Facing the engine, one should be the top left pulley, that one is common to all. The optional tensioner will be the next pulley to the right. If one is missing it may have fallen off and you may be able to run a shorter belt.
I retrieved codes 1260 1251 and 1231 with a snap
CODE P1260 THROTTLE RETURN SPRING WEAK SPRING FORCE. CODE P1251 THROTTLE POSITION MOTOR FULLY CLOSED POSITION. CODE P1231 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 1 AND 2 RANGE PERFORMANCE PROBLEM. SOUND LIKE PROBLEM IS MECHANICAL PROBLEM.YOU HAVE WEAK THROTTLE RETURN SPRING.GO TO DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT FOR NEW RETURN SPRING.
"Time for service" light comes on after the car
Your mechanic may have forgotten to reset the light. Also if the time for service light is your check engine light a fault code may be stored in the vehicles on board computer. Have the codes pulled to determine if a fault code is present or not. If there are non you can have the light reset, however if there is a fault code and you just reset it the light will keep coming on until the problem is corrected.
My 2000 9-3 just illuminated
usually an indicator that there is a fault in teh transmission. You need to get the fault code read with a code reader. Auto Zone or most other major auto parts stores will do this for free. It will most likely involve a transmission repair.
I was driving my saab lost power parked and turned
no it will reset itself ,these vehicles suffer from the bottom connection breaking off the header tank bottle and they cost 81 euros with the tax and are only available from saab with a ten day order time
I have a 2001 93
Hi, before you go about removing the lock try getting something like wd40 or an easy spray and then give this a little sprat inside the bit the key goes into you usually get a little straw with the can and just poke this inside the lock and give it a tiny spray then put the key in and keep working it backwards and forwards and turn the ignition on and off a few times then take the key out and give it one more spray then try the key again, doing this should save you having to take the lock out and should free the springs up inside and get it working properly again.
only spray a small amount inside and then work the key doing this should then solve your problem and get it working normal again.
let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok
Hi,
"Check soft top" warning comes
Best to take it to a shop or a delaer to get codes, but I think the top latch above the rear view mirror is not clamping down the top tight enough. The second message "Check Soft Top Motion" leads me to believe this - the OBD thinks the top hasn't finished opening/closing. Unfortunately there isn't too much in the way of adjustment that can be done, besides R&R of the microswitches (that you mention are in good shape).
