Subject: Help - '86 Saab 9000T Start Problem


I have a 1986 9000T with a cold start problem. I have read all the FAQ's I can find, but none seem to address the same thing: The first time I turn the ignition switch in the morning, the car starts and dies, immediately. The next two times it does the same thing, but takes a bit longer to die each time. The next two times it idles until the climate control system starts to come alive, about 3-4 seconds after turning the switch, then it dies. The sixth time I turn the ignition switch, I finally get the "classic" cold start problem -- wild rpm oscillations, as it seems that the computer hunts for, and eventually finds, it's correct "mark". It has always done this hunting, and I would be happy if it would only do it, again. After this, the car is fine until the next morning, no matter how many times it needs to be started. It seems (to this untrained, naive layperson) like the computer loses its memory overnight, and has to relearn everything, each morning. The dashpot was just replaced, and the 90k service was done (except for the O2 sensor). I ran two tankfuls of Techron, graciously provided by our mechanic, through the engine, to clean the valves. Does anyone have a similar experience,and hopefully a solution? - Carey Beall beallcnopsammil -------------------==== Posted via Deja News ====----------------------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Post to Usenet
