Subject: Re: Check Engine light and Platinum Plugs...


The car is a 1996 900SE Turbo and I'm beginning to believe I might have jacked myself by going with the Platinums ... On the way home tonight I got a loud "POP~~Shhhhhhhhhhhhh..." and then...No more turbo boost. At first I didn't notice the lack of boost and thought that maybe one of the cylinders had popped due to the new plugs; but, aren't all plugs designed to almost similar specs for all cars? I find it hard to believe that moving to "better" plugs would cause problems in a Saab. Half the car is made up of BOSCH parts and the plugs were BOSCH, why would they even make those wacky 2 and 4 pronged plugs for the general public if everyone's car is going to start pre-detonating and causing problems!? I didn't get those plugs per se...I got the regular BOSCH Platinum's and I have to admit that when I compared the plugs that were in the car to the new one's, the quality of the NGK's were sub-par to the BOSCH...nevermind the carbon deposits and worn firing head... I'll try the NGK's again and let you folks know how it goes. (Thank God changing plugs in a Saab is about as easy as a 440 V-8) Thanks for the replies, Chris
