I was very gentle with the car and did not accelerate too much like I did the first time (full throttle to say 100mph). I will try that again on the weekend when I don't need the car to commute to work. Thank you all for comments - I feel like I am learning from you guys! Also, Is there a good description of the Saab throttle body operation? I am kind of lost with butterflies, limp homes, etc. I am interested in the limp home mostly since I may have distrubed it. cheers - Peter
