Make sure the cables (hot and ground) are both good, and that the connections to the battery and starter are not loose.

Sounds like a fuel starvation situation. Check fuel pressure and fuel filter.

A fuse "blows" because the circuit is trying to carry more current (amps) than design. It does this by interupting the circuit to protect the wiring from damage due to overheating and the possibly of a fire. When you turn the car on power (voltage) is supplied to many circuits including the fuel injection system. Typically when a fuse immediately blows when power is supplied, the cause is a short circuit to ground. Visibly check the wiring and connectors in the circuit for obvious damage and repair. If you find no indication of damage, disconnect the components in the circuit and check if any are internally shorted and replace. Check the wiring before reconnecting to confirm it isn't shorted. If it is you'll have to do a thorough inspection to locate the short and repair.

What is pressure on the fuel rail?

This is usually under the driver's seat or the front passenger seat.

For safety reasons most trunks/boots open from the inside. Check your manual. If no manual. Email manufacturer.

hello u'd need a proper manual for this in my opinion like there are plenty of dealers and online shops that deal in those.. you can get some free at reliable-store and it;s actually really illustrative

I got this free Pdf manual from reliable-store for free and I don't think Ive visited a mechanic or fixya for help for more than 3-4 times out of the 20 times I fixed the chipper in these 4 years

Use a scan tool to find trouble codes that are causing the CEL to come on and address issues found.

Take it to a qualified repair shop. Without doing a full scan of the computers on the vehicle we'd only be guessing . You don't won't to just replace a bunch of parts .

you do know the gearbox has to be in reverse before you can take out the key if you need more info email at [email protected]

Probably is the common issue with Saab (Bosch) ABS module. Had same problem with 2003 9-3 SE. Removed it, had module remanufactured (~$150), reinstallled - fixed problem. Google to find more info.

P0165 is O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 3). Don't know what you mean by "TCM system reset has come up".

Saab 9000 (1995 model) owner manual found here: http://saab-club.com/downloads/Manuals/Owner9000MY95.pdf Saab 9000 (1994 model) owner manual found here: http://www.vintagesaabmanuals.org/uploads/1/9/1/5/19154273/1994_saab_9000_owners.pdf Both manuals are free downloads, no sign up either, which makes a welcome change. think you'll find info you're after in the sections "Instruments and Controls - Trip Computer" Hope this helps

I don't know definitely but to date I haven't seen a fuel pressure regulator anywhere else except in the top of the fuel return line and mounted either on the end of the fuel rail or very close to it. There is also a vacuum line connected to it.

I'm assuming your looking for the oxygen (O2) sensor on that side of the engine. Find the belts and pulley wheels on the end of the engine. Most likely the left side of the car as you look at the engine. Stand on that side of the car with the belts nearest to you. Look across the engine. On the transverse engine fitted to Saab 9-3, Bank One is always the left side of the engine, (nearest the driver), and Bank Two is always the right side of the engine, (nearest the headlights). Standing in front of the car look down the back of the engine, Sensor One will be positioned in the exhaust manifold or first short section of exhaust 'Before' you get to the catalytic converter. It will be a metallic tube shaped sensor with a set of wires coming out of the top end of it. I would recommend buying one of the specialist sockets or spanner's for this as they can be a pain in the backside to get access to. each exhaust has two sensors fitted. Sensor One is always nearest the engine, before the catalytic converter, and Sensor Two is always furthest from the engine, after the catalytic converter.

Need a bit more info about that. You need to get hold of an OBD2 diagnostic tool (code reader) , plug it in and read off DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) heres a link to saab.se trouble codes listing, look up the Code numbers and make a note of the codes that your car's ECM throws up. https://saabinfo.se/en/og-9-5/error-codes/obd2-error-codes/ usual suspects are CPS (crankshaft position sensor), which are in the general area of P0335 onwards in the listing, but it could be a number of other things too. More info required please.
