Hi Saabers,
on my way to Colorado from California my 2000 9-3 SE (133k) started acting badly. When I accelerated the car would start shaking, just like the engine would run with only three cylinders. The exhaust sounds are rougher than normally. This happened just after I had been pushing the car a bit harder, so something probably happened there. Luckily I was very close to my destination for tonight, but Delta, Utah is not the best place to get stuck with a Saab, I would guess.
I opened the hood but could not see anything strange, like fuel spraying around.
Any ideas where I should start?
Any help much appreciated!
Kristjan
