I, too, had a 1986 900S with exactly the same symptoms. The cause was the idler control valve (translated from German). This was several years ago, so the details are fuzzy. As I remember, the part was about $150 including installation, which is very easy because the gadget is located above the engine somewhat between the engine and the radiator shroud. Good luck! dah43nopsamspring.com wrote in message ... >I have an '86 SAAB 900 with a stalling problem.
