I've heard of people using a "standard" : Ford sensor to replace the Saab one. You might do a search on this : group in google using "Ford" as a keyword. AFAIR, you have to splice : the wires for the Ford sensor, but otherwise it is the same. The : sensor is DIY but you will possibly need to buy a special socket to : fit down on it and around the wires. They sell them at most good auto : parts stores. I would not worry about it unless/until you have a : problem. They sometimes go many miles without issues. : : Bob Unfortunately, IIRC, the 1996 model has *two* oxygen sensors: one in the front, and one in the rear. About $300 or so for both of them if you get the Saab parts. Of course, this may be different if you have the V6. -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
