The gauge cluster and steering wheel seriously changes the whole damn car
I love them both haha. two of my favorite upgrades!
Make whatever car brand content YOU like, I watch everything regardless.
thanks brad; I always appreciate your comments and support. it really means a lot!
One way to check O2 sensors is to pull up the live data and make sure the voltage alternates. It should never be stuck at one voltage as the switching is indicating that the computer is making adjustments to the air fuel ratio, operating as normal. Downstream O2 doesn't affect performance. Its job is is to simply report that upstream is doing its job. Glad you got her running.
PS. Def mainly here for 9-3 content.
gotcha - great advice. thanks!
Good advice
Remember if is not broken don’t fix I have Saabs since 1074 95,1900 9000 05 93 currently I drive a2000 95 aero takes everywhere Arlin Texas even hunting on dirt roads has been to Mexico City and to ixtapa in the pacific coast just don’t abuse them there are great precision machines. EZ
AAA has been an absolute lifesaver countless times for me and my family, glad you were able to sort out the fuel pump issue at least temporarily
Thanks! Yeah I can’t believe I didn’t have it before this..
owning saab 9-3s for 14 years I learned AAA is your best friend! lol they got me out of so many jams. You get 4 calls a year tho, tow (7 miles at first tho), fuel or unlocking your saab. After a year of being a member they'll increase the tow to 100miles.
It definitely is 🤣 I bought the premier package (or whatever it’s called) so I’ve got a few tows available, including one for up to 200 miles which is pretty nice!
I’m in my 60s and have spent most of my adult life driving German, Italian, Swedish, British and French cars. AAA is the second greatest invention ever, just after the wheel. ;-)
Lol! 🤣
You know it’s a good day when my favorite Saab RUclipsr uploads.
Also, I love the steering wheel, do you have a video posted on that, regarding the installation or any further information?
thanks nick! I do! It's from maptun. here is the video on it: ruclips.net/video/Hyym_mCq8xc/видео.html
I enjoy your Saab content but understand others may also enjoy your Audi. I have a 06 9-3 so your experiences are applicable to me.
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼😃
I had a 2007 SportCombi that the front end got backed into by F-250 18 months ago. I just bought a 2007 9-3 convertible with a non-functioning gas gauge. I was going to replace the fuel pump when along with the fuel float unit. But thanks to your video, I'm going to keep the existing fuel pump. Much appreciated!
No problem, haha. You can always replace just the sender too!
That's my plan! Replace the sender unit but don't replace the fuel pump
Oh man this is a familiar sight 😂. This was me last weekend, covered in filth, exhausted, frantically trying to figure out why one of my 9-3s would only run for about a second. Luckily for me mine just managed to blow its intercooler hose off somehow. I really like the Saab content of any kind, it’s so relatable for me. Not that the Audi stuff is necessarily bad, it’s just not what I come here for. And owning 7 Saabs myself I completely understand why you have that car. Either way keep it up!
Thanks for the input! I’m glad yours was an easy fix!
You got it going man. Credit to you. UK Saab 93 Aero owner. Definitely worth the effort.
Thanks! Happy saabing to you over in the UK!
Post what you want to post, we're here for it! I do like the adventure trips though.
We do. And how come he hasn’t got a silver button yet? Unreal
thank you both! much appreciated....I am working so hard to get that silver button. hopefully it'll come someday...
I wish you were my neighbor! I have a 2006 Saab Aero Sport Combi
lol! it's ways great to have Saab friends close by!
New episode of "Better call Lucas"!
LMAO he is the 🐐
I prefer anything Saab. The 900 is amazing. I and many others are probably addicted to just any saab content there is.
Thank you sir 🫡🙌🏼
You choose the content, it’s all great! Glad you fixed the 93 - I know that feeling when you solve something after a long struggle on the spanners 👍🏼
yep! thanks for the support; really appreciate it
I have the same year 9-3 as you do and the only reason it's on the road is because of your Chanel. That being said make content on what ever cares you like man,
thanks Hayden; it means a lot that I have been able to help you out! happy Saabing!
Hi Jacob! That's a really big bummer about your fuel pump issues. It's strange everything was working great after the Walbro retrofit and out of nowhere it started to fail. Your black nylon flex lines look seated good, not kinked and well clamped. I don't have experience with Racetronix pumps to know if they're typically loud whiners (it's okay me too lol) but at 19:06 the pump sounds strange. Definitely sounds like it's starving of fuel while the cars misfiring, shaking and likely sloshing fuel around. I wonder if the filter that goes on the end of the pump is sitting too high, too low, or even at an odd angle in the basket causing the filter to be pinched off? During my rebuild, the AEM pump I used was much smaller in diameter than the factory pump, so I added a large metal worm drive clamp around the pump to keep it from moving up and down. Another thought is definitely cavitation and sounds like what Maptun is leaning towards. At 17:16 there should be an o-ring on the end of that leftmost black piece of basket. That piece is a cover for an internal filter and the tip is where the o-ring should be. The o-ring might be in the basket at that frame of the video but I imagine if that isn't seated well it could cause cavitation issues. Keep up the good work my friend!
Thanks for the advice! I watched your video a few times while doing this job 👍🏼🤣 that o-ring you mentioned was in the backer during that shot, but I do wonder if maybe the pump is somehow moving up/down, or one of the black plastic lines is kinked 🤔
I think all saab related content is good not many people own now, but I think you're skilled so all content no matter what it is interests me.
Thanks 🙏🏼 I appreciate that!
Great video, Jacob! I love the Saab content but do what you want. Glad you got it running properly again. I'm not looking forward to potential fuel pump issues in the future on my 07 Aero SC... 🤞
Thanks! Good luck, it is not too bad of a job 👍🏼
As always your content inspires me. From into the pines to stuck on the road, that's such a let down. One foot in front of the other is like a life mantra for me.
Real videos & real help.
Thanks Jacob. 👍
Thanks for the support and encouraging words 😀👍🏼
There's a critical o-ring in the basket that if not replaced will cause fuel pressure problems. Weekest of Weeks mentions it.
the little green one at the bottom? It was in there - I had thought that might have been it too
@@AutoAutopsy yes. It is best to replace it. Seals experience compression set over the years.
Yep it was a new o-ring that came with the new basket!
Good update, great video!
Thank you!
Btw if you keep having fuel pump issues the way I made it easier is take out the back seat cushion and cut a circle hole in the thin metal underneath. This lets you get access easily to the fuel pump from the top without removing the fuel tank, having to jack it up, or anything.
I really advise against that personally!! 😬
@@AutoAutopsyHahaha are you saying there’s a danger using an angle grinder near a fuel tank? 🤣
Congrats! Welcome to the fuel pump group!
Edit: I need a garage... I've been stranded in my "open space garage" 2 times.... dropped a magnet inside a cylinder (don't ask me why) and substandard SKF axles (bearings popped off on the inner joint) during a front Bilstein shocks change which itself was my mistake I bought B6 instead of B8.
Yepp around 22-25000 km( Swedish miles ) they are about finished to give up , happened to me and my buddys 9-3 in that range
B6 are the same as B8 but less stiff. If you dont care about ride comfort then B8.
Lol, thanks! I can feel for you there; head up and I am sure you'll get those issues sorted! these cars definitely challenge us sometimes.
AAA premier pays for itself. Anyone with an old car fleet should have it. Glad you got it sorted. Nothing beats reliable factory parts.
🫡👍🏼
Man i remember the og mx5 content i was there for i vote on miata an audi content
thanks for always watching!
Personally, I just started driving a 93 about two months ago and as most of them that I’ve seen she was beat and not loved you have been the main channel. I go to all of my repairs and just generally knowing stuff about the car.
Glad I can help you out chase. It is a shame that so many are being neglected :(
Don't care about the Audi, it may be a great car but it's not my thing. Miata may be fun to watch with such a project. But otherwise it is Saab that counts for me. Shame that two new fuel pumps give trouble after such a short time. I agree with Tony from Uncle Tony's Garage that aftermarket parts nowadays are quite often junk. Had to replace rear bushes on the 9-5 after only one season, on all four the flexible boots were torn and brittle. On the 9000 I had to shift the outer cv joint boot after only a year; happily enough the cv joint had survived. Looks as if aftermarket producers use cheaper, lower quality materials than OEM producers did, which is a shame as material cost isn't the big price changer.
thanks for the honesty there! yeah, it's a shame we have some parts that are no longer OEM...
Weakest of Weeks has a really good video on fuel tank, basket, and pump refurb.
Looking forward to see your video on a refurb, though.
Good luck and have fun getting to and from Portland. See ya next year at the SOC.
I referenced his videos while doing this job! they are fantastic and very detailed :)
@@AutoAutopsy that job is on my high priority list.
Love the 93 and Audi content. It is great!
Thanks abi!
Blew an intake manifold gasket on my og9-3 on a trip recently, luckily made it home but it seems like everyone was having bad luck right before SOC
Ugh. Hope you get it fixed in time to make it there!
Definitly mix it up! I miss the S3 in your videos🥺
Appreciate that! 🫡🙌🏼
As a fan of both Saab and Audi I wouldn’t mind seeing a comparison video between the modded 9-3 and the S3.
A car I’d love to see you get would be a NG 9-5 Aero XWD or 9-5 Turbo4 Manual.
It’s funny because I got my 08 9-3 Aero XWD just a year after you sold the turbo X so I’m always watching the older video hoping one day you’ll get another 2.8T car.
Thanks for the feedback and ideas. I’d love to get another Saab one day!
Good jobs.
I own a 93Aero of 2003 in black. Enjoy your video very much and benefited from it.
Keep it up and running on the road.
Thanks! Happy saabing, glad you enjoyed
After going to a few LKQ pick your part lots and seeing all the dead, but repairable, SAABs😢 , it's good to see your SAABs thriving and getting TLC. Now I have to sort out the electrical problems my A/C is having on this 122 F day! Nice haircut BTW did you get it after watching Full Metal Jacket? 😉
agh! good luck in this heat - it is brutal out there. lol, just had to get my pre-SOC cut
I personally follow you for Saab content so anything Saab related I'm game.
Though I do love Miatas... 😅
👍🏼😀
I feel your pain. I guess the AAA is the US equivalent of the UK AA or RAC? Luckily I did have cover when my first OG9-3 shredded its drive belt in a live lane of the M1. Just managed to limp into the services and the AA guy came to the rescue. Sarcastic so and so too. He just kept saying "Usable classics..." and chuckling to himself...😡
Ah! That sucks. It might be similar? AAA basically offers roadside assistance and towing
I had a 03 93 for years. Gave it up around 350k. I was pretty hard on it. Neglected the shit out of it. Accidentally left it running all night one night. Came out to an empty coolant reservoir and no fire state. Couldn't get it going again. Sold it to another saab nerd for scrap value. He might of got it running for all i know
Sounds like it lasted you a while! That’s a shame of an ending to it :(
Glad it seems to be working as it should!
fingers crossed! I am so excited for our road trip!
Glad to hear you’re coming up to my neck of the woods in PDX. I’ll have my ‘92 vert there.
Awesome! I’m super excited for the drive and event
I have an 03 9-3 as well… I have a continuous p1312 code… I have swapped coils to new oem ones & have the bcpr7es plugs too.. it runs great… thats until you mash the gas & it starts stuttering and it misfires under load. I am also only getting 17mpg..
Try running some fuel cleaner through the system. That’s pretty bad mpg. Injectors RARELY fail on these cars, but perhaps that’s part of the issue. Make sure the plugs are gapped properly and also check for vacuum leaks
As a Mazda 3, Mazda cx50, and 9-3 Aero Sportcombi, and soon to be ND Miata owner. I would love to see NA Miata content!
awesome, glad you think so! Mazda makes so many amazing cars. enjoy your journey with the ND!
@AutoAutopsy they do for sure. And very reliable! I'm in AZ as well and have Sebastian swap my D088 radiator and intercooler kit tomorrow. Hopefully it helps the Saab
@@Chilloutdesertoh nice! He was sending us some videos of it. It looks pretty sweet. Make sure you join our Facebook group if you’re on there - Saab Club of Arizona 😀👍🏼
K-Love listener, parents listen to K-love all the time
I’m a fan of just about all kinds of music tbh. Love to mix it up, especially on the road trips!
As a European, I am amazed that 91 octane fuel is considered premium in the US. In Europe we have nothing below 95, which is considered the cheap fuel and the 98 or 98+ is considered premium.
AKI and RON are not the same. North America uses AKI, Europe uses RON. 98 RON = 93 AKI, 95 RON = 91 AKI
@@cgoodcase Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you for the clarification 😅
yep! our ratings are different :)
Saab content I why I watch but will watch anything else too if it´s interesting.
thanks for the honesty, much appreciated!
Let's goooo!!, let's go!! Great. I understand it.
🤣🤣🤣 we’ve all been there
Naprawdę dziwnie zachowywały się te dwie customowe pompy. Ja u siebie wymienilem oryginalną pompę na DW 200 i po przejechaniu ponad 100 000 km mogę powiedzieć że nie ma z nią najmniejszego problemu. Ciśnienia i przepływu paliwa jest pod dostatkiem. Co lepsze moja oruginalna pompa pojeździła sobie jeszcze w 9-5 Hot Aero mojego kolegi ładnych parę tysięcy kilometrów zanim dokonała żywota. Wymień pompę na DW 200 i będziesz mial spory zapas, minus taki, że do jej montażu trzeba trochę przerobić kosz paliwowy. Nie jest to duża przeróbka. Wystarczy dremel. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski.
thanks for the advice. when I get back from my trip, I am thinking I will get into investigating the cause of the failure and hopefully reinstall
I literally had the same issue. Bought a cheap complete fuel pump from A1 auto and couldn’t figure out the odd noise. Tried a different pump and it did the same thing. Finally bought a complete Delphi pump and it has been fine since. Not sure what the issue is but I hope not to drop the tank for a long time…
Glad you got it sorted 👍🏼
Why to persevere. Glad you got it sorted and we will see you in Portland Or.
Can’t wait! Looking forward to seeing your 900 once again
Actually, be bringing something a bit older and newer.
There are Bosch Fuel Pumps available. As for the O2 fault P0131.
WIS states the following:
Fault criteria:
When voltage across oxygen sensor 1 is less than 100 mV while voltage across oxygen sensor 2 is more than 700 mV for more than 30 s.
So Sensor 1 (Upstream) was saying you are running Lean, while Sensor 2 (downstream) recorded a Rich condition. So for the ECU the signal was implausible.
Personal advice: Take those O2 Sensor/Wire faults serious, if they cause a too lean/rich condition it can grenade a engine. Also only Buy OEM, for Saab its Bosch who makes them. Also note, Life expactancy for the Bosch Sensor is ~170 000km.
Thanks for the advice! The new Bosch O2 has fixed the cel thankfully
Oh… I didn’t realize the fuel pump wasn’t accessible from the trunk as in a 9000. Thanks GM
lol! thankfully it's not too hard to drop the tank
@@AutoAutopsyYes, from your previous tutorial, it’s not too hard to do that in your studio. However it’s harder to do that on the road.
Do a fuel pressure test gauge on it after replacing the pump.
I was considering that but don’t have access to the tool! I’m sure I’ll probably pick one up once I look into what the cause was later down the road
I love 9-3 continent anyone else w a 9-3 should relate
for sure; I love making the 9-3 videos!
So glad you got this sorted, Jacob. Your 9-3 ia looking good! I hope to drive down from Seattle for at least a day trip. Just took my '07 9-3 2.0t ragtop for a 10 day trip in BC. Gratefully, she ran like a top after the new ECU and throttle body. Hoping that continues. 🙏
Not much interest in the Audi content. The Miata holds somw interest for me, mostly because it is Gen 1. Thanks for all you do!
Awesome! Thanks for the input. You definitely need to make the trip since it’s so close to you
Mate, I feel your pain
:(
I must say that I don't regret I sold my 2004 9-3 last spring and got me a low milage 1998 9000t CSE in stead. Sure, it has some issues, too, but except for the immobiliser (which I am waiting for a guy to disable), it just runs.
Okay, the ignition key is placed at the steering column, but the 9000 is still a Saab, and one of the best ones in my opinion, especially for long-distance trips.
Good luck on finding the fault; it's always a frustration when a brand new spare part doesn't help.
All is sorted now, thanks! The NG 9-3’s are a great platform, though
@@AutoAutopsy Sounds great. However, my 9-3 had passed the 160,000 miles mark and started having larger issues, like a leaking aircon which would have cost $1.000,- to repair, one third of the sum I paid for the 9000 with a working a/c and 60,000 miles lesser on the clock.
But even though the 5-door 9000 is a good-looking car, the design of the 9-3 sedan was bang-on. Even today it's a better-looking car than many contemporary ones, especially most EVs.
@@sneakyfox4651all cars will experience wear and tear items (such as AC) with age! 😅👍🏼 enjoy your 9k!
@@AutoAutopsy Yeah. The problem with the 9-3, however, is that you have to take the entire dashboard apart to get to the cooling unit which makes it expensive if you have to pay a pro mechanic to do it, like I'd have to. The cooling unit and the pump in the engine compartment aren't that expensive. But at $88,- an hour incl. VAT it wasn't worth it.
And thanks. I already do. :O)
My 9-3 06 Convertible did the same thing and the hose from the intercooler had popped off =)
agh! that sucks. too much boost!
I will stick with the 9-5 all day
9-5's can also break down! it's not just a 9-3 thing lol
Wow I was thinking about doing the walboro fuel pump for my 9-3 but now I guess not.
It seems as though there’s an issue with the basket/line instead of the pump. I’ll be able to diagnose more when I’m back from SOC!
Jacob, Sorry to learn that you had such a bad day ! Like the viewer commented below : the gauge cluster could be part of your 03 Saab problem(s). Per my Saab Mechanic, never try to put newly design electronics into your Saab unless its within 1 or 2 years production of your Saab or there will be conflicts as newly designed electronics are not for older version. Just like you install a Window 11 to a computer originally designed for Window Vista, there are so many things NOT COMPATIBLE ! ! Like at the end of this video, you put the original fuel pump back on and she comes back to life ! Good Luck and love watching your videos !
Thanks for the support as always! The cluster does not have anything to do with the problems. It’s fully integrated into the OEM system via an adapter 👍🏼 the video I made on the install explains that in more detail if you’re interested! ruclips.net/video/XssWi8oC6tE/видео.htmlsi=sxduemcYr4FcxNZh
I have CAA precisely because i have a Viggen. Saved me twice so far
nice! lol, I guess..
You dont ever need triple a to use triple a. Simply call to get a membership then call and use the services.
They put a 48 hour delay on when you get the membership vs. when you can start using it
Always enjoy your Saab content… Also having AC electrical problems like another commenter on your channel on my 2010 209k miles 9-3. Would be nice to see some content on that sometime for the 9-3 as there doesn’t seem to be much on You Tube, or any suggestions would be much appreciated. Seems to be one of the most difficult diagnosis and trouble shoot, spent 0ver $700.00 to no avail at one of the few local Saab shops in my area throwing various parts at it some of which include the Climate control module, main radiator fan relay, and evac and recharge freon, tested compressor clutch and coil, etc, etc. one Tech 2 code PO691 Cooling fan control 1 and different vehicle Vins detected though I’ve owned this car since it was almost brand new. Of course this just happened as we’ve been having desert like temps up here in Norther Cali!!
Sorry to hear! Have you tried posting on saab Facebook groups for assistance?
@@AutoAutopsy will try!👍
I think I had the same problem with my 2006 2.8L Saab silver convertible, 130k miles. Call European 101 in Del Mar, near San Diego. They fixed it after ~3$k of diagnosis. They'll remember my car😅. Enjoy your contents!
Yeeesh! That’s crazy. Thanks for the support
Nice! Glad to see the OEM pump back in and working! That seemed like an absolute bitch of a chore. On the bright side, at least this happened now vs on the way to SOC. AAA is awesome btw. Totally worth the money. You can do title transfers and other stuff at any of their local branches too.
100%! I am still learning about all of the perks of membership...cant believe I waited this long to sign up!
Curious to see what the error is with the pump. Keep it up. Like the 900 videos. Miss my 900, i own right now a 9000 Aero and a 9-3 Vector. 😎👍❤️🇸🇪
thanks - me as well, haha. happy saabing!
Mass air flow sensor
If only it were that simple 🥲 (watch till the end lol)
I would have to sell both testicals to get all that work done on my saaby in Australia. Hope you score that award.👍
Lmao! Thank you sir, I appreciate it. I hope so too
To pull the tank out
...... Twice,
It's a nasty time consuming job, well done for persevering in the heat.
Onward to the saab meet.... 👍
you know it! hoping to get there
What steering wheel and cluster is that they make the car look amazing
Thanks. Steering wheel: ruclips.net/video/Hyym_mCq8xc/видео.htmlsi=8XtH7htndydSGU_L
Cluster: ruclips.net/video/XssWi8oC6tE/видео.htmlsi=6ED2u7cXis6V1ZYE
It sounds like its running dry. Maybe the mesh filter in the basket with aftermarket pump is somehow clogged? Or maybe those plastic hoses in the basket are cracked?
That’s what I’m thinking…it’s gotta be the lines or perhaps the filter. But the filter looked fine 🤔 I’ll be investigating further after SOC!
Mix it up try a '06 Saab 9-3 2.0T Manuel 5spd
That would be cool; I don’t have any room for another car unfortunately
Check you are getting 14v on the battery from the alternator. If not, you need a new voltage regulator - I used the VR-B196M and it works great. . Only 87/88 suffered from degrading wiring insulation so your wiring is likely fine - also do a parasitic drain test.
thanks for that! I will have to confirm
AAA is your friend.
they are now! lmao
@@AutoAutopsy the Premium membership will get you a tow between 100 - 300 miles away IIRC. I think they’ll let you use that like two or three times a year. Can’t really have project cars without having AAA lol
@@uswdnr47I signed up for their premium one and it looks like one 200 mile tow and three 100 mile tows per year
Can’t beat factory original parts
👍🏼👊🏼
900! 900! 900!
:)
The gauge cluster where is it from? / Regards from Sweden 🤓
NG 9-5! Here’s the video: ruclips.net/video/XssWi8oC6tE/видео.htmlsi=8JMlbIfjhg6vhBbt
Before I finished the video and knew the answer, I would guess guess the problem is probably the ignition coil and causing misfire of one cylinder.
Wow, it's the fuel pump issue. One think I felt a little bit insecure is that the driver never really knows when the fuel pump is going to die. Especially that you can't change the feul pump of Saab 9-3 from the backseat side.
100%...you NEVER know...it's definitely a little scary, lol
I would like to find out where you get your 93 parts/ Maybe in 1 nice list or something.
Here’s a video where I talk about that: ruclips.net/video/ARVbmaQ7Dn8/видео.htmlsi=YsNWGvXJ4Tc0iAg4
Really curious to know exactly what was wrong with the other fuel pump
Me too, haha. I’ll investigate after I return from Portland
How can i fix the air bag check engine, some times Turn on and turn off...
I'd start by getting a tech2 scan to see what is causing the airbag light and CEL!
Check all Pipe do smoke test check turbo pipe maybe some of them is broken
I fixed the issue at the end of the video 😅 but thank you
As I said before on another video, in my case the pump just stopped, all it did was crank, also I noticed no pump noise during "priming" .
hmm...odd. must be a symptom of failure
Crankshaft sensor??
Should be 860 Ohm if good
thankfully that was not the issue
I have an Opel with the same engine. However, I have a problem and maybe you can help me. With full throttle the engine gets too much fuel and runs too rich. what did I do ngk spark plugs map sensor clean it the first o2 sensor replaced and the engine still runs too rich engine and smoke black ad 5000 RPM also read I have no error codes. Do you have any idea. I love you content it's very educational
Thanks for the support. It could be injectors possibly, but I’m not sure
@@AutoAutopsy Thanks for the info i have the 55559397 injectors i will check them
Mixing up over the cars you have in your ownership
you prefer the videos on different cars? noted
Catalytic Converter? O2 sensors?
yep! just replaced the primary o2 and that has fixed the CEL :)
Hey, Jacob! Can you give a link to purchase your code reader?
While my '99 9-3 5spd cv is (still) at the body shop, I'm driving an '08 9-5 wgn 5spd. Both were sitting a few years, the 9-3 long ago in CA, the 9-5 most recently in MA. So it's going through many of the same things as the 9-3 once did of getting back on the road, specifically to do w/the fuel system, and the 9-5 fuel pump gave out a few weeks ago on the highway near home. AAA brought it to my mechanic, but I've really got to get the premier level for longer tows. In June, I was carless for ten days. Anyway, my mechanic told me the same about the fuel pump, and now the 9-5 has a CEL P0442 needs new EVAP valve. All to be expected, or so I tell myself...
It looks/sounds unbelievably hot there in AZ. Here in the East, it's not the heat but the oppressive humidity. Yes, I prefer Saab content, but it's all good.😎
Ugh. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I am sure you’ll get it sorted soon! Here’s the code reader I have. Definitely one of my older videos 😅🤣 ruclips.net/video/OML3fpDz4Jg/видео.htmlsi=xZON35kbHGJCEPG9
Maybe check the throttle body if yours hasn't been replaced?
TB is all good :) thank you though!
@@AutoAutopsy I had something similar so thought I'd throw that in there. Good luck.
weird the pump died so quick, please tear it apart and look for what failed!
that's the plan after SOC! We (maptun and some others ive talked to) think there is air getting in somehow
Was it the Fuel pump after all?, and didn't you just recently change it as well? I highly recommend buying AEM fuel pump 340lph which is good, if that was the issue my brother
Yep it was the pump! I mention all of the towards the end of the video. Thanks for the suggestion on the upgraded pump!
@AutoAutopsy yeah actually that guy you mentioned on RUclips the one that guide you to install fuel pump, he is the one that recommended AEM fuel pump
Is driving with bad O2 sensors bad for your car?
it can be, especially if it causes the car to run too rich/lean
what is the dash you have put in
it's out of a NG 9-5. Video here if you're curious: ruclips.net/video/XssWi8oC6tE/видео.html

@@AutoAutopsy hi I’m Anthony in Florida I’m interested in a Maptun stage 1 for my 2007 Saab 9-3
So how come an upgraded pump will make that noise? Wasn't supposed to be better than an used 170k fuel pump?
I noticed you dropped the fuel tank, most ppl will just do a cutout underneth the back seat and take out thru the hole ... Why not doing it the same way?
It’s likely an issue with air in a line with the new basket, but I don’t have time to diagnose it at the moment. Hopefully I’ll have it fixed properly sometime in the near future when I am back from the owners convention.
I really, really advise against cutting a hole in the body. It’s fairly easy to remove the entire tank and do it the right way (which is how most people do it)!
Hi,
I have a strange problem with my car. When I park the car and try to start it the next day, it won't start from the ignition. To get it going, I have to connect a cable from the relay to the negative terminal while the car is in the start position, then the car starts. After I do this and drive the car for about an hour, it starts normally with the key without any issues.
I've replaced the battery with a brand new one, but the problem persists. I noticed that if I disconnect the battery cables overnight and then reconnect them the next day, the car starts. I also tried using jumper cables from another car, but that didn't help. The car only starts by connecting from the relay.
Could it be the engine control unit not sending a signal to the starter motor? I've also replaced the relay, but that didn't help either. Does anyone know what this could be?
Thanks!
It sounds like you might have a parasitic draw. If this is a NG 9-3, try unplugging the amp1 overnight and see if the car is still dead in the morning. That’s the most common cause on the NG’s
