9kt ot running how it should Posted by SAAB_Story [Email] (#3262) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SAAB_Story) on Tue, 14 Nov 2006 18:01:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi, I just recently bought an 88 9kt with 100000 miles. I pulled the engine to clean out the grease andreplace the rear engine mount bracket. I just got the engine back in and started it. the car idles erratically and when I drive it sometimes the engine will stall at idle. Also the car feels like its running in limp home mode because when I give it throttle and when the engine revs up to 3500RPM its starts spitting and popping and backfiring. The needle on the boost gage goes about 1/8" into the orange section. that doesnt seem like its running how its supposed to. Also the exhaust smells like the car is running rich.
