Hello friend, I have a saab 9-3 convertible turbo, and I have a problem that doesn't keep the minimum gear, can you help me?

Thanks for this video! My 9-5 died this morning after a tiny little pull. I just had enough speed to get the car to a safe place. I read the fault codes, checked the forums and bam! There was your video. I got the car out of limp mode and I also managed to be on time at the meeting. White shirt, greasy hands, classic. Now I just have to figure out what caused the car go to a limp mode. Thanks again!

Thank you so much. I watched another video and it wasn't detailed enough. Thank you for uploading as it happened because your issue you had was my issue and I wasn't sure if you pushed the wire left or right. Detailed and I got it. Thank you

Is this applicable for 2007 Saab 9-3 2.0L? Car acted like turbo went out, low power. Then after sitting a while was okay, until a mile down the road. Then back to low power.

Thank Yoy, Saab Wrench, I got my problem fixed! I have 2001 9-5 Aero and two days ago suddenly my car wouldn't start. Got it running somehow and drove home, my neighbour checked for codes- I had P1251, which is Throttle won't close completely- cleaned throttle and it worked again, but hot rpm dropped slowly and hot rpm was about 2000. So I followed Your instructions and voila! Thanks, man!

I’m having a problem with my 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0t wagon sport. This isn’t it sadly. I have no acceleration power in automatic (drive) but when in slap shift mode I have full power…

My speedo on my 03 9-5 aero stops working and at the same time the EMS light comes on and switches the throttle to limp mode… Any insight anybody?

"Blood tester" – too funny! When first married, my bride saw me working on the car and asked me if blood made a good lubricant on my hands 😉 Married 33 years now and she still doesn't mind my working on the cars, m/c's…!

@LeeKeels says:

Was anybody else screaming the entire time, YOU DIDN'T PUSH THE WIRE FAR ENOUGH!!!

@CameronAudet says:

Does cleaning the throttle body trip limp mode ?
