i had a 1993 saab 9000cs, that acted as u described. then just would no longer start. checked the usual checks, to make sure it was electrical related, sprayed qucik start in intake manifold, would start then cut off. will took to the saab shop, turns out the fuel pump was on it's last leg. at the time the car had about 118,000 miles on it. so, perhaps u can have the pump tested just in case. if it is good great, no loss.. but, if going bad... can save u some woes.. cheers.. let me/newsgroup how it goes.. mike 1993 saab 9000cse 2.3 turbo 1993 saab 9000cs 1981 saab 900s danny <dannynopsamia-esprezzo.com> wrote in message news:3C5C951A.C965CF97nopsamia-esprezzo.com... > Hi chaps/chapesses > > Recently my 1990 9000CDS (non turbo) has been idling erratically.
