If you’re bottoming out hit ebay and pick up a cheap set of lowering springs, you can get all 4 for around 80 dollars and that will stiffen up the ride considerably and stop the bottoming out, you could get regular height but the car will look a little cleaner dropped a bit and you’ll still have fixed your problem I used ebstores as the seller and am very pleased with the springs, been on em around a year now.
but I regap them down to .9 and dont get the misfire shakes under load. If you have access to a scanner or torque(android) I would check unclear codes to see if you see a misfire in any cylinders, if you have any swap around the coils to see if the misfire moves cylinders,
A bad coil can cause the sputtering and shaking under load, if its not throwing an error code than the misfires are probably less than 2% after 2% youll get a solid check engine light, it will stay solid till you start misfiring more than 10%. Also having your plugs gapped too large can cause the same problem, My car would struggle a little under load when my plugs were gapped more than 1mm the ngk plugs I run (stock plugs) (2006 9.3 bsr stage 1) come pregapped but the gapping is close to 1.1
Quick question would a bad coil make my engine shake? Just had the engine mounts replaced ,my engine puts after 50mph but sluggish at acceleration like its misfiring !.
the intake should be housed away from the engine bay so that the engine would pull cooler air. and cooler air to engine = Extra performance, i kept my engine air intake to stock as it won’t make any difference. my Cadillac BLS which is a redesigned exterior of SAAB 93
This is a great video, thank you. The manual does not show where the spark plugs are housed. What size adapter do I need to access the plug? My socket set has a spark plug adapter, but it is too big to fit into that hole. Thank you.
would a bad coil or spark plug cause the engine light to go on and off intermittently? sometimes is sense a vibration that seems to coincide with the light going on, and then it seems to run smoother when the light doesn’t come on. id appreciate any help. the car is a 2001 saab 93 w/77k.
you can check genuinesaab for most of the popular saab upgrades, I have a vid up on the software they sell still I think, prices are a little rough but some things like the 3 point and strut are custom made by taliferro which is genuinesaab
no problem guys just helpin out. any other questions just ask and i might be able to help. and yes it is a BSR intake but what do you mean when you have PPC??? Also fyi if anybody has any questions about my saab… it has a strut tower bar, the boost in the turbo was adjusted, shifter bearings, short throw shift kit, BSR cold air intake, 3 point sub-frame kit. i have also had some crazy problems with my car as well. so really any questions just ask… i might of already had that/those problems.

this car will only run on a specific spark plug.
there are no plug wires. it has direct ignition coils.
yes
Thanks I just bought a 99 saab and I want to tune it up
Thanks for this dude!

Had a similar problem on a Citroën. Changing the coils solved it. But Saab has a more complex ignition system, so it might be something else.

Do you also have to change any wires when you change the plugs????
Thanks a ton, very quick and easy video.
Heads up, 21 lb/ft setting on the torque wrench. Just did mine, this video helped greatly (newb to Saab.)

Where did you find the strut tower bar and BSR intake?
Where did you find that strut tower bar and BSR intake?

Did your intake cause any problems?
