wow thanks man, i was told when i took my saab in that it would cost me $800 for them to replace my ignition coil. now that ive seen this video and realized how easy it is to replace, im gonna save hundreds of dollars on repairs!
you said you hoped this video helps a couple people out there, well it has helped my. thank you.
Is it possible you know where that video is Jay? Im gonna change just that sensor and i think a video would like that would help alot!
my saab 900 se turbo has code P1611: Check Engine Request, Short To Ground / Internal Module Malfunction.my dash lights flicker and gauges not working the car will run a little the stall butt if i let it sit a day or two it seems to run fine for awhile then it does it again Please need help!!!!!
I drive a 94 saab 900 with 70,000 miles. I got the code p0340 (Camshaft position sensor). What is the first suggestion to going about this fix and how do I make sure I’m fixing what is broken?
I just got my replacement in the mail. How long should I let it sit (in the position it should go in the car) before installing it? That way the oil doesnt get messed up
How can I test mine to be sure its bad? I have a p0303 code and car is running rough
Could be, but my money is on the Crankshaft position sensor… I know there is a video about it here somewhere on YouTube by another user.
I have problems starting my car. Its not the batteri, and I dont think its the fuelpump. Do you think this could be the problem?
Just did this easy job on my 9-5 with 130K miles. It took me 20 minutes because I didn’t watch this vid first! Wasted 10 minutes to figure out that the red clip SLIDES off first ! Duh! … Found a note on a parts website that says to let the new unit sit on the engine for at least 1/2 hour after installation – something to do with the oil in the unit running down to the lower section. Can’t verify that anywhere else.
1) Check engine light goes on
2) Error codes on scanner ( garage test )
OR: Engine just dies – no spark.
Also, how did you know that you needed to replace the Faulty D.I.C.?
Thank you for the video.
How often do you have to replace the D.I.C.?

I just called the dealer and they’re 500$. Is there any way to fix them? That’s ridiculous, 500$ set of sparkplug wires. There’s got to be an easier fix
What kind of bolt sizes are those
Nope really no way to refurbish them. All the electronics are covered in poured epoxy and impossible to disassemble.
2000 SAAB 9.5 2.3t how to fix an old DIC is it possible. can one refurbish an old DIC and put it on
Replaced my “dead” DIC last friday. Mechanic told me that it’s real easy, but a visual representation is always useful. Thanks for the video
Any advice on an srs warning light someone mentioned srs connector and a piece of wire touching both terminals togeter in the connector-itself what do you think?
Same here I was about to pay 900 dollars just for this, well now that I know I might as well just do it my self.
He did plug the new one in.
where did you get your dic from?
He does plug the new one in. “clip it on first” @ 1:03.
You forgot to plug the new one in and you forgot to use the grease.
That’s it? I was about to pay 600 dollars just for that mechanic to do this?!
