sold my '72 saab 95, and got a '79 saab EMS that i haven't 'taken possession' of yet— of course she's got a "B engine," so i hope i'll have better luck posting here than the 900 board.
has NO power and smokes when cold...will hardly move, but does much better when warm (although according to the previous owner, it perhaps sucks down gasoline faster than should).
PO says symptoms started soon after water pump went bad and was replaced. i'm terrified that she overheated...and the above symptom is related in a catastrophic way.
ideas?
possible compression issue?
warm up regulator?
what can i do or check before i start the long drive home?
thoughts would be appreciated! about this issue in particular and the '79 900 EMS in general...
