my name is Hans Vlems and I've been resubscribed to the saabnet after a
couple of years of absence and have been lurking for a month or so. I've
owned Saabs since 1985, my first car was a Renault 12 and was followed by
several Saabs: one 99GLE and five 900's (all mk 1's). Family expansion (4
daughters) led to the introduction on a Volvo 765TD early '95.

We still have a Saab (of course). It's an '88 model, which I bought as
second owner in Sep. 91 with 49.000 kms. Right now it has 184.000 kms on
the clock. It has a kat (an early one, no lamda sond) and a 5-speed manual
transmission. Lately the car has problems with starting. The engine turns
easily enaough but doesn't catch until after 8 to 12 seconds. Not a good
thing for the battery with winter coming up. This car is the first one
which has a motormanagement system. I have no clue what is going on or
where to start looking. Which I prefer before bringing it to the shop.

I've read similar symptoms on the Volvolist and many times the computer or
the AMM get replaced (at dear cost) before some other, less expensive part
appears to be the culprit. If there are any hints, I'd appreciate that. A
pointer to a FAQ which adresses this problem even better.
