Asked by Sally Apr 03, 2016 at 09:08 PM about the 2004 Saab 9-5 Arc 2.3T

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It seems that it does not want to idle. When you first start it, doesn't want to
stay running. But once you get it going it hesatates but goes on. When you
come to a light it wants to die any help would be appreciated.

Try some general maintenance things first. Check air filter and replace if necessary, clean throttle with throttle body cleaner, clean or replace Idle Air Control valve or Mass Air Flow sensor depending on which one your vehicle has also change fuel filter if have not done so in awhile add Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner to gas tank.

i just purchased a 2001 saab 9-5 turbo sedan. I plan to take it to an import repair shop this week to ask to have it checked out to see what if any issues it may have. My fear is having to pay for testing on my car that may not be necessary.
