Engine Dies & Long Start [saabnet.com]

Subject: Engine Dies & Long Start ================= Folks:
I need your help! I have a 1990 Saab 9000T that has developed two problems that are baffling the local mechanics.
First, the engine dies absolutely at about 4300rpm - it's as if it has a rev limited that shuts the ignition to ground and then comes back on when the rpms fall back to about 4000rpm. This problem started as intermittent but is close to constant now.
Second, after replacing the fuel pump and filter (the mechanic claims the new ones are identical to the original), the car now takes several seconds of turning over to start. Formerly, it ALWAYS started perfectly (hot or cold). Now it never starts well but always leaves you guessing if it will 'catch' (but, so far, it always has started eventually).
Any help will be most appreciated. ================ To send a response, just hit reply! The Saab Network - On the Internet Since 1988 http://www.saabnet.com/
