if the cylinder bores are worn, the pulsing could be due to pressure in the cylinder passing past the piston into the crankcase. i think that this would require a re-bore to sort out. has the engine been excessively caned, particularly when it is cold (Saab advise light acceleration in turbo models until the engine has warmed up)?? sorry i can't be more helpful, us :-) "g c" <nbtrownopsamet.on.ca> wrote in message news:us7ortko3gta36nopsam.supernews.com... > This might be an interesting problem.....!
