I have posted a couple times in the past but after everything I have tried, problem still persists. 1999 Saab 9-3 SE with 92,000 miles
sometimes stutters and randomly dies at idle. I need the car fixed this week and Saab indie has no idea.
-Plugs clean and gapped correctly
-New filter
-Replaced IAC
-Problem still happens when MBC+A and atmospheric BOV removed from car
-Almost always stutters and dies after filling up the tank, but also dies when the tank is almost empty.
-Unrelated to oil temp
-Will happen at completely random times. Sometimes car will shut off multiple times in a day, sometimes car will go for a couple of days without a problem.
-When car stutters before engine shuts down, lights dim, then come back up to full brightness once engine is off.
-Battery is new
-Alternator is good
-Problem has persisted for past year. 3 months ago, check engine light came on and car drew error code P0507 (engine idle RPM too high). Light has since gone out.
NOTE: I also have a 1998 Saab 900, so I can switch out any parts that you guys think may be causing the problem.
If anyone has a solution to this problem that has been bugging me for over a year now, it will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
-Eric
