9-3 Troubleshooting Saab limp mode

0 Upvotes

My saab 9-3 sportcombi from 2007 has had an issue with it entering "limp mode". It happened during winter and low temperatures but stopped after changing the glow plugs.

Now after a rain storm it happened again out of seemingly nowhere when turning in a roundabout.

The car doesn't accelerate above 2000rpm.

The Egr valve was deprogrammed last year and i have never had any issues with that.

Went through inspection just last month without issues so im a bit frustrated.

One Saab wasn’t enough.

I’ve owned my 2011 NG9-5 for a little under a year now and I love it and the rare 6 speed manual transmission it’s paired too. But there was a b235r sized hole missing in my heart and this car popped up just a little over an hour away from me so I had to look and sure enough I brought it home. This is my new to me 2007 9-5 Aero finished in titan gray is equipped with the 5-speed manual and has heated/ ventilated seats and upgraded with front brembo brakes. The factory aero wheels were also included in sale with a good set of hankooks on them!

9-2x Troubleshooting 900 Classic Spring Advice Please

1 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’ve been through old suspension posts but not found exactly what I’m after. I have a 92 900S. Have replaced the shocks with new Bilsteins all around (B6s IIRC) but I put some used SPG springs on all four corners.

The ride height looks great, but there’s just not any bounce left in these springs. The ride is uncomfortable (my daily is a Porsche Macan Turbo that I usually keep on extra stiff suspension, so I’m not comparing it to a 92 Cadillac).

Does anyone have a spring recommendation that would provide some additional comfort while still riding lower than OEM 900S? I get that lower will always mean stiffer but I feel like I am at the extreme end right now.

Thanks

Keep in mind cover is off. Cold starts at 1100, then 900, then 700 when under no load. I recently added refrigerant and it idles lower, why could that be? Thanks
