I'm wondering if anyone out there is familiar with their Saab 900 running very roughly when starting it cold. Mine is in overall great shape. The only complaint I have is that it runs extremely roughly for the first 1 or 2 minutes after I first start it in the morning. I've had the car for about 8 months, have just replaced the cylinder head (it was running roughly when cold before we redid the cylinder head also). Once the engine has been running for a short time the car performs beautifully but the rough running is really quite annoying. I have also noticed that my fuel consumption per tank seems to fluctuate a lot even though my driving conditions/habits don't change at all. This seems a bit strange to me. I get between 320 - 420 kms per tank. Does anyone have any thoughts, experience or advice on this sort of rough running problem? Thanks in advance, Rick
