Replacing Dilithium Crystals in the Star Ship Enterprise is easier than tracing down Saab electronics issues! (Don't ask me how I know) God Speed Ivan!

In the late 90's to early 2000's, a college buddy worked at one of the bigger garages in State College and was affectionately known as Saab Guy - he had a knack for them, and all of the Saabs that came in were automatically assigned to him, as he seemed to be the only one who could figure them out. Good times.

I’ve always thought Saab was a classy car that was not out of my reach. That is one beautiful machine

Wow Ivan when I watch you it seems so simple, but when I would attempt anything like it, which I never would, it would not come out like this. Thank you for your knowledge and your valuable time too....Pete

My late sister had this problem, we never figured it out. This hits in the feels

I absolutely loved Saab.

I'm still looking for a Saab 900 Turbo in decent condition, it's my unicorn, can't ever seem to find one down here in the South and I know better than to buy one from anywhere further north than Southern Tennessee.

It’s an awesome thing that you have the ability to figure these issues out. Even the so called “ dealership highly trained?” technicians? can’t or don’t have the training nor desire. They want to screw over customer by throwing parts at it and charging the hell out of you. Independent guys like you are very valuable to help keep people from wasting $ at a dealership

My buddy leased a 9-5 turbo 4 back in the day. I remember liking the way it drove. Of course, I always think of Seinfeld when I see a 9-3.

I love the video top gear did on SAB It was brilliant It was interesting how they actually didn't just rebadge the car they actually changed most of the Vauxhall/GM Vectra part's.

Awesome to watch a Genius at work, thanks.

Hi Ivan, very interesting, many thanks from UK.

I hope this car doesn't have enough wrong to warrant 7 parts. Great video!

Merry Christmas to you, and your wife. Never miss your videos, you are one great instructor Bill N LI NY

Saab is a totally great drivers car . My mum had the 973 V6 manual when we lived in the UK . I guess they’re making plane engines now.

You are an angel brother having such knowledge and passing it on for free. My ECU was faulty and only one person in Poland 600km having some knowledge managed to rip the software. I wish I had known this a year ago. I hope links are available. :* Next time I only borrow Tech2Win :)

Hi! When you plugged in the spare ecu it didnt work because the ground for it is the actual intake manifold. Same on euro3 spec Alfa Romeos v6 and twin sparks
