Hello, everyone. Well, the saga continues. This afternoon on the way home, I got in the left lane of the interstate to pass and my 1990 Saab 900 Turbo lost all passing ability. It was able to keep highway speeds, but hills were a challenge and acceleration was not fun. Anyway, at idle, the car runs extremely rough and the entire car shakes. The exhaust looks like it's going to shake itself right off of the car any minute. I popped the hood with the car running and it doesn't seem like the engine is shaking excessively, although it may be a tiny bit more than usual. The engine sounds fairly normal, but it almost sounds like it's either missing a little bit or just running rough. On take-off, it feels like (and sounds like) I'm driving a Greyhound bus. It seems to run slower than usual, but that could also just be the result of the car running so rough. Regardless, I'm hoping to resolve this issue soon and I know my description is fairly vague. Should I check into something or assume I got some bad gas? I used the first half of the tank without any problems, but this occured suddenly while driving down the highway this afternoon. Any feedback, suggestions, or comments are GREATLY appreciated. Also, please feel free to post any questions for clarification purposes. Thanks so much in advance. Everyone have a GREAT weekend, drive safely, and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
