Subject: Re: saab 900 stalling problem, 1989


Hi I had the same problem on a 900 turbo convertible, and it turned out that the throttle angle switch was corroded (MY93). The car was running fine, but when you depressed the throttle full (speeed ,speeed...) and then applied the clutch (traffic light, corner) the engine stalled. The system is autoadaptive that means it learns a lot of bullshit when the sensors donīt work. When you change something itīs always on the safe side, but then it adjusts itself to the "ideal" point - what may be the wrong point. You have the same problem with the AIC idling controll valve on the turbo. So in a lot of cases the stalling is caused by the NOT recognition of the closed throttle, cause the switch should have 0.0 ohm and mine had about 50~70ohm. Another thing could be the "boost bypass valve" that may not open. Think from the turbo side (pressure, pressure, closed throttle, ????). Ok, check the switches! -Roland- kcwongnopsamsplanet.net schrieb: > I have a 85 Saab 900, and I have exactly the same problem. As long as > > the car is running, its fine.
