'94 900s used to intermittently stall, now no start

Jaustin 8 May 2005 06:03:00
 
All,

I have a '94 900s convertible that is killing me with all the little
things that have gone wrong since I decided to repair the transmission.
=(

A couple months ago, I would be driving along and the motor would just
stop. most times it would pop the clutch and get it running again no
problems. eventually It mutated into not starting; it this would be
after it's been driving for a while, it would crank fine, but just
NEVER start. If I gave it another shot in ten minutes or so, it would
fire up. This left me stranded once, at night, with my kids in the
car. I had it towed to my mech who replaced the fuel pump. The car
worked fine for like two days, then it stalled on me while I was
driving. it started up again using the forementioned trick, but now it
sits in my driveway, melting away. No start. I replaced the battery
today - it cranks fine, but will not start. Is this just another
familiar propblem with the 900s?

Check the ignitition switch. The GM Saabs earned the repution for
having a lot of electrial problems. My NG 900 had the batteries cables,
battery, cruise control brake switch, power seat relays, most of the
dash lights, and ignition switch replaced in the first 90 days. The
Classic 900 I bought - only needed new tires and brake pads in the last
two years :-)­ I wonder why people like the Classic . . .

1994 Classic? This isn't a Commemorative Edition is it?

I would still check the ignition switch and all of the connections.

 I would first check if the car has spark and fuel. If not i would replace the crank position sensor. I was told that the crank position sensor tends to go bad in these cars. This sensor is what tells the computer to spark and when to pump fuel. They will work every once in a while but then it won't work at all. It is located under the exhaust manifold and it bolts into the main block. I would try that. I bought one off of the internet for $45 but through the dealer it was like $150. I wish the best of luck to you. Sincerely, JJ
