I gather like all SAABS - if you get a good V6 - you're smiling all the way into 350,000km+.. If you have a bad one - it'll suck much of the joy of life from you before you have to hit the silk.. Have it checked out - if you are oiling over some sensitive the electrical or ignition system - it stands to reason that your engine management system might be grounding out somewhere.. You know - like after some wise old wrench miester who really knows how to really check a harness properly - like outside the manual.. If you live near Halifax Nova Scotia - Tom McDonnell's place is the shop to visit.. :) .. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Rocky Horror Picture Show - I'm Going Home http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/109.RAM
