My wife was driving my 2001 95 2.3T (40k miles on it) on the highway doing around 70mph when the car simply died. No power. This car is in MINT condition. I bought it used w/ 20k on it about four months ago. I determined that it is not getting spark by pulling the ignition casset, puting a plug in it, grounded the plug and turning it over. No spark. Turns over just fine. I talked with a couple of different Saab machanics that I know and they both said the same thing. "Your ignition rack is gone". Well I bought some OBD2 scanning hardware/software and while the software seems to work, it reports no DTCs. My question s are: 1) Would all 4 coil packs go at once? Would it just die mid stride? 2)if my ignition cassette has failed, should I expect to see a DTC comming from the OBD2 scanner? Any help is greatly appreciated. I would really like to be sure of the problem before I lay out 500 bucks for a non-returnable part. Thanks very much, John Hooven
