Red is the right one for the 9000 Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:01:52 In Reply to: Direct Ignition Cassette, splice1, Fri, 28 Oct 2011 07:44:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The black cassette is used on the later model Saab engines. The red cassette is much more expensive, but is the one that should be used on the 9000. The car will run with the black cassette but knock detection is seriously degraded which could lead to detonation and engine damage.
When I bought my 9000 earlier this year it came with a black ignition cassette and it ran OK, but after a little research I bought a good used red unit on eBay. It has a 2006 date code and cost a little over $100. (I keep the black one in the trunk as an emergency spare.)
