Ron - thanks much for the follow up - been away from the board for a few days. The stalling seems to happen when I turn left leaving my driveway. As I cross over the center of the road the front wheels hit the sand that's inevitably in the middle of the road (snow removal from a few months ago and there's a huge construction project underway nearby). Basically if I am just starting out, at over 3/4 throttle, and I hit this sand to activate the TCS, the car stalls – like it gets choked with too much fuel (the engine is still cold – and the EFI system is not in 'closed loop' mode). All I really need to do is *not* nail the throttle so hard when I leave the house and all is OK. When the car is warmed up (about 1 mile of driving) it’s all good. I may just have the Saab gods at Scanwest Auto check it the TCS for any trouble codes (and adjustment – if possible?).
In normal, wet road TCS activation, the system works but the TCS doesn’t feather power off gradually – it’s more of a rapid ‘dump’ of power when it activates (but it doesn’t stall). Perhaps that’s how the TCS is normally?
That is really my only complaint about the car – other than I can never seen to get over 20MPG mixed driving. !?$%&! turbo – so hard to keep one’s foot out of the boost!.
Thanks again for the response!
