1989 16V na with 115,000 miles on it.....I bought the car in March($1,000....first Saab ever owned) and during that time I changed the plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor, auto tran. fluid, diff. fluid, oil & filter, thermostat, thermo temp. switch, flushed coolant, fixed headliner..........whew! I stopped after that....car ran like a champ. Just last week I changed out the fuel filter(one thing I forgot back in March) and now I've run into some strange problems.
Going down the road yesterday and all of a sudden the venerable "check engine" light comes on and the car noticeably starts to run rough......get to the next stop light and it stalls. Embarrassed, it takes me 10 times or so to start it up and I limp home going about 20 mph and rolling thru stops signs so as to not stop and stall. This morning, I get up and go to work and the car runs fine. No problems. Later tonite, on way home from work, the "check engine" light comes on again and sure enough......same mother#$&^@ing thing!!!
Please help.....it's just a go to work car(7 miles to work) and it's paid for....but here in Indiana it's not the time of year to be riding my bike to work!
P.S. I am mechanically-inclined enough to handle all that I did above in March but not much more.......
I've perused this site for hours tonite and have narrowed it down to these possible culprits:
1) FPR
2) Fuel pump
3) vaccum line but I'm almost sure they are all connected.....
4) don't have a friggin clue...........
Thanks in advance
