Yo wassup Chris this is jonjon again message you about the flywheel aswell in a long paragraph if your crank sensor under you transmission I’d bad change it but other wise check the pins on the crank sensor harness and the harness to you crank sensor. Remember that harness is close to your exhaust so double check that harness making sure the wires aren’t melted or open wire and it’s not grounding. Bcuz if it’s telling you crank sensor then it’s not reading the timing on the flywheel so double check that.
"don't want to bore you guys" is Matt's biggest misunderstanding about RUclips! Not your fault for nerding out about saabs but man I was kinda excited to learn about this place. Sounds sick though!
Pull the timing cover on the Z and replace the oil galley gaskets. I chased the same limp mode problem for months. I replaced damn near every sensor and still had the same issue. After I replaced the oil galley gaskets it ran perfect. seriously look into it.
Seeing how the wires on that cable were a bit chewed up, I'd be looking at rerouting that wire/cable. It might be getting pinched or squished on the seat rails. Doesn't make sense you were able to leave it running when you went to O'Rileys and no limp mode, then you drive it the next day and its in Limp Mode, I'd check that wiring under the seat.
499hp/527nm 1.7bar holset hx40 saab 9000 as my daily. Stock internals besides volvo stiffer valve springs. Overall budget under 3k$, car was free. Try to beat that. Saab’s are the thing.
Man the title got me, I assumed he was gonna sell it, but then thinking about it Matt loves his Saab's so that would be backwards for him to sell it and having the tattoo too :p Would love to see this thing hitting again!
Dude I hit you up on Instagram and told you that I'd help fix that's saab.... They're the most easiest cars to fix and the easiest cars to tune. Easiest ecu's to unlock. It's a T7 ECU that has self learning..... How could you possibly not be unmotivated to work on something like that when you have a full shop????
Man all my years working on my junk saab, The issues with your z is related to the crank position sensor. Most likely the wires are melted causing an arc and or a bad connection. I've also had crank sensors come bad from the get go. You should be able to test the ohms of the sensor with a meter. While its running you should lift it up and check voltages to the plug
My buddy had a truck kept going into limp mode replaced every sensor on it and he gave up on it went in the building one day to see if he could find something and a wire was barley shorting out on the oil filter so I’d say u just have a wire shorting somewhere
Chris i bet the issue with the Z is a wiring issue, you need an auto electrician to go over it and check for resistance or loss of voltage or no continuity etc, check for water damage or fire damage. Or just change the whole wiring harness for a known good 1
What is that vq out of? Smooth good power. Good weight ratio, so it will have that smooth feel. Switch ecu just to see. You've changed everything else.
Correct me if im wrong but arent the explorer rear ends offset to one side? The center section i mean. Rangers center sections are centered. With the explorer rear diffs u are more lilely to get an lsd and disc brakes tho
Yo chris remember when you did the burnout in the z and it prettymuch exploded when it dies try to unscrew the gascap and see if it pulls air it alsmost seems like its pulling a vacume in gastank mabey the evap said bye bye because the gas vapours exploded when you did the burnout
Im From the uk and we have the saab b204 engine they go up to 500 stock bottom end or fully built up to 1000bhp love for chris to come here and go in a 500bhp one and he would change his mind about saabs and the 350z are slow af 😅
I still think it might be ecu related on the z bro .... but can't say to be sure but if u replaced all else then there ain't but so much more electronics left to go throu 😅.. any ways guys peace and love keep it radical stay safe and build on.. l8z famz and keep having fun
for your cluster i thought jimmy helped brian do that with his terminator on the bmw e46 i could be wrong and or something the colorado just doesnt work in anyway for the stock cluster with the terminator.
Not at all. Trevor likes the newer 9-3's and those things have shit ECU'S and weak ass rods. He also like to mess with this crappy V6 engines that have 3 cylinders powering the turbo.... Once GM got their hands on Saab, the quality went to shit. 9-3's past 04 suck major sack of baby dick.
Number one fraz that you said. What can it be! Why would you ask others when you and you( team) had all hans on. Hey everyone we jacked a car up. Dm for a great deal
I’d say you replace the fuel pump all together and and sir no shit if you just dump things and mash the pedal of course your just gonna spin altogether instead of going 100 percent tps go 50 till it catches and then roll to 100 I can see you’ve never really had a supercharged car you don’t just hold the pedal down like you do a turbo car waiting for boost to load there is no loading boost but there is a boost limit with superchargers boost is literally on the pedal with a supercharger if your not spinning your likely gonna win as long as you can get off the line. Then roll in the power
I think Matt should race the ricer as it makes half the power that the Saab is going to make if the ricer wins you can declare the Saab scrap if the Saab wins Chris has to forge it for the 2nd time
If it's throwing crank or cam sensor codes it could be either a faulty sensor that's been fitted or the cam chain could possibly be stretched due to all of the drifting. the sensors would then be detecting that the engine is slightly out of time and would then stop the engine from running under dangerous conditions, limp mode ect
Yea, you're right man, cam and crank sensor codes simultaneously is usually a sign of timing issue. Very unlikely both sensors are bad. If Rudnik had any diag skills, rather than passing off his problem cars to his friends, the car would have been fixed months ago
Bought a oil dip stick for my Saab from the warehouse in Sweden. Said it be 4-6 weeks for it come in. Waited 8 weeks, and ended up getting my money back, and got one from a fellow saab owner lol. I love the car, but when things break it worries me about finding a replacement part lol.
It's more likely your whole wiring harness needs to be replaced as you seem to have intermittent problems all the time with that car and having a bad ground or any wires that send certain type of signals can cause serious problems that can take forever the figure out just replace the harness entirely would be the cheapest easiest route
Chris!. My guess is it's ur flywheel. I know u replace it and I know u changed it again. I have had the same flywheel. There's something up with them. They come Alittle bent. Teeth or bent. Or it's the metal they use .. something idk exactly but I change my flywheel n it's running til this day. Mine would run great for a day or two then be crap for a day or 2. I would say it's that or someone pinched the cps wire between the bell housing
He could just put the LS in, it's already set up to drift. But yeah he should replace the harness or cut open and insect the old one, probably a pinched wire or something unexpected like a connector pin.
@@hitmixhyepock9405 yeah idk what hes thinking... even a junkyard 200k mile b207r would be a fun time compared to the shit he puts himself through for saab cred
Yes I came here looking for this comment. Matt just do a lsj-t swap. Mines running 380hp all day on a fun daily tune and it can make 450 easily if I wanted to.

chris on vq's knock sensor under the intake manifold dosent throw a cel or a code when bad but goes into limp more
if he didnt mention that hes replaced 99% of the sensors on that thing, I'd have more hope for this solution lol
@@andyboi8283 it's the last one you'll want to replace on. a vq 😂 and a bitch to get to so maybe he hasn't done it yet because it doesn't throw a code
We all know that just because it's a new part doesn't mean it's a good part. Even from the dealer.
@@aaronm6710 facs
At this point, he needs to stop throwing sensors at it and start looking at the wiring and PCM.

Whats up with the s2k still in the background hmm sounds scammy
Was it a giveaway
@@SubieNubie1528supposed to be
Check your pedal position on live data. Put on live graph
I would definitely check continuity with a multimeter on the 370Z crank/cam sensor plugs. Hopefully Matt gets the Saab sorted. Pretty cool car.
Check the crank sensor replace or clean it on the 370z, also maybe clean the plugs of the sensors with some electrical cleaning spray, good luck.
He did that already, both sensors you have to change
Rodknock's Junk shop needs some diagnostic software/hardware for the laptop to log these cars and quit guessing at things...
Pull the timing cover on the Z and replace the oil galley gaskets. I chased the same limp mode problem for months. I replaced damn near every sensor and still had the same issue. After I replaced the oil galley gaskets it ran perfect. seriously look into it.
The harness is shorting out somewhere and screwing the sensors.
He needs to inspect that harness and connectors carefully or just replace it.

Let’s talk about Matt paying $300 a month for rent lol don’t even leave Matt you’ll never pay less
Does he still live in Wills basement ?? Lmao

Check the fuse box for erosion and replace the fuel pump relay
Definitely a good idea.

Idk what Matt plans on doing with his "440 hp" if he's leaving the stock trans/diff.
It'll hold a while, just dont miss shift 2nd to 3rd, been there, done that in 400 hp Saabs 😂
dont know if done but maybe want to look into the cam solenoid and cam phaser could be plugged with dirty oil

Matt's free uber 👀 MVP should have his own work vehicle supplied 💯
He is not humble the way he talks to nat and Matt 😢
Saab conversions are big in the uk as it's a gm product. We put them in hot hatchbacks. B204 is the one!
*please check the maf on the Z*
Chris i bet the issue with the Z is a wiring issue, you need an auto electrician to go over it and check for resistance or loss of voltage or no continuity etc, check for water damage or fire damage. Or just change the whole wiring harness for a known good 1
i wonder if when yall changed the engine, if it caused an issue with the ecu?

I would take a good look at the wiring harness as it does seem suspect.
Can’t stop laughing at “it’s a 15 thousand dollar car” when running!
I can't wait to see what actually fixes it
Have you changed knock sensor in the z that will send it to limp mode
whats up with the truck thats in Vegas???
Yo chris remember when you did the burnout in the z and it prettymuch exploded when it dies try to unscrew the gascap and see if it pulls air it alsmost seems like its pulling a vacume in gastank mabey the evap said bye bye because the gas vapours exploded when you did the burnout
Did you disconnect the ecu when the cage was welded in? You might have shorted something in the ecu. You’ve changed everything else change the ecu
have changed the ecu. sounds like it could be the issue
Look at the wires that Luke ripped out under the car maybe that had something to do with it
I literally just copped a saab 2 weeks ago, may it be sold and given to a good home brodie.
Why dont you get a smaller filter and clock the intake downward? Or just run the intake filter directly out of manifold
Have u checked the throttle postion sencer
Did you change the knock sensor like under everything and mount it correctly?
Im From the uk and we have the saab b204 engine they go up to 500 stock bottom end or fully built up to 1000bhp love for chris to come here and go in a 500bhp one and he would change his mind about saabs and the 350z are slow af 😅
didn’t the infinity he traded in for the the truck do the same thing?
Close...close is a lingerie store without a front window. Theres a reason people swap chevy engines into stuff since the 50s
Dude save your self the headache put the old 6.0 that came out of the Colorado in the z with all stock fbody parts and sell it
Sounds like the Z is grounding out the harness somewhere. Same thing that happened to my S14
Chris ain't doing no four link himself ... I gotta see this
Ur close to PA, just have scannerdanner diagnose it. Bet he could figure it out it half an hour.
that saab has the b207r right? that thing is good for 450whp no problem stock block
I still think it might be ecu related on the z bro .... but can't say to be sure but if u replaced all else then there ain't but so much more electronics left to go throu 😅.. any ways guys peace and love keep it radical stay safe and build on.. l8z famz and keep having fun
As long as Rudnick has the green 370z he has content cuz hes never gonna get that bag of problems ironed out.
You need a cpwire integration harness and you could get your guages working with the terminator.
Check the Timing it may jump timing
Sounds like the timing is off on the Z Casuing it to go into limp mode u can here how it sounds definitely not 100%
wiring shorting out ?
Throw a 3in x pipe and spintech mufflers on the Colorado it will sound great
fund matt's engine damnit
I feel like there has to be a way to make the terminator work with the stock cluster.
is the cluster not digital on a colorado couldnt you just put a canbus in it and make it run off the terminator
for your cluster
i thought jimmy helped brian do that with his terminator on the bmw e46 i could be wrong and or something the colorado just doesnt work in anyway for the stock cluster with the terminator.
Wiggle connectors while its running. Possible bad pin fitment
You wanna feel torque build a fast Diesel, my buddies 6.6 Duramax will hand most sports cars there ass! Could the Z have a computer going bad???

Bad ecu? Similar to what happened to the ricer years ago?

You need to pull the wiring harness, you obviously have a wiring issue, there is certainly a break of some kind
Number one fraz that you said. What can it be! Why would you ask others when you and you( team) had all hans on. Hey everyone we jacked a car up. Dm for a great deal
Have you checked body control module
Check the crank for play/float

Love you Matt but that darn Saab ain’t making nothing pass 300hp sorry doood
Stretched timing chain.
Happy to see Mat getting shit done.
U need a fuel sock on that pump
just because you replaced all of the sensors doesnt mean shit. nowadays too many new parts are defective right out of the box.
Bro I would've scrap that pile 😂😂
Support team junk
I think you need to check your harness going to the crank sensor
I think Matt should race the ricer as it makes half the power that the Saab is going to make if the ricer wins you can declare the Saab scrap if the Saab wins Chris has to forge it for the 2nd time
Bro I would have traded you a e46 4door auto for that 😂😂😂😂
Colardo dosent feel fast as its supercharged power is instant. Turbo charged is nothing then everything
Part it out
Dude i been trying to tell you its the mass air flow sensor
The car wont run sometimes when its bad also it go into limp mode aswell
Glad to see you getting the Saab fixed buddy. Don’t let anyone ever bully you out of keeping a car you love. You’ll miss it forever.
If it's throwing crank or cam sensor codes it could be either a faulty sensor that's been fitted or the cam chain could possibly be stretched due to all of the drifting. the sensors would then be detecting that the engine is slightly out of time and would then stop the engine from running under dangerous conditions, limp mode ect
Or get the timing checked mabe 🤷.
Sorry just trying to give suggestions
Yea, you're right man, cam and crank sensor codes simultaneously is usually a sign of timing issue. Very unlikely both sensors are bad. If Rudnik had any diag skills, rather than passing off his problem cars to his friends, the car would have been fixed months ago
x is a piece of junk Jz swap it and it’ll never have a problem again
The reason the Colorado feels slow is Rudnik is the exhaust and the rear end you definitely need some shorter gears to feel all the torque !
🤞🏼 it isn't the clutch slipping
Saab was to hard for Matt rare parts and not much aftermarket the bmw was fun to watch Matt enjoy working on.
He needs a Mercedes with an om606 😂

True or the fuel pump is failing and might be too weak to work under load.
Either do full chassis harness or sell the z as a rolling chassis
