Thanks, I did pay and indy saab specialist $20 to put it on a lift and check the suspension out, all looked great.
My hydrometer said the anitfreeze is good, but I am not sure about the age of it. I have a semi-heated garage, so the cold is not the issue but internal corrosion is. I will think about changing that soon.
I just added some Techron to the fuel, but I will go ahead and follow Dean's IAC/TB cleaning instructions.
The battery looks to be original, I can put my engine analyzer on it, but if it is already 5 years old, I am not sure how much longer it can be nursed along anyway.
I have studded Nokias for the winter which will replace the summer tires soon enough.
The jury is still out on re-torqueing the head. My local dealer which has a pretty good reputation, says not to worry about it, contrary to many strings in this BB. I have no leaks at this point, so I will keep an eye on it.
I do have a torque wrench, so if someone knows the sequence and torque setting, I may go ahead and do it any way. Can't hurt anything...right?
Thanks Jim
