I believe.... It's the APC solenoid. It transfers electrical info to the car's "brain" to correct knocking & ping &.... The fact that it's ticking means it's working. But it's ticking for a reason - probably to compensate for a problem in the system. It SHOULD be plugged in. Mine was ticking & then my fuel pump died..... I replaced the fuel pump & no more ticking (?) (!) Brian Ladd Code wrote: > Salutations, > > I have 1988 Saab 9000 Turbo (100k miles) and of course have no manuals nor > can I seem to locate any.
