i think you may have pushed the pedal to quickly and the piston pushed the seals passed the seal point need to strip out the slave again refit the seals in the correct position and then when bleeding make sure the caliper nipple is open and push really gently and slowly on the pedal ,do this procedure religously to all four calipers

This car will have the direct ignition cassette and not a distributor. The direct ignition cassette apparently has something in it that mimicks this sensor. when the cassette starts to fail this code can be an indication.

Crank position sensor failure is likely. No pulse from this sensor, and the ECU will not switch on the fuel pump, so no gas and no go. Cheap part to replace. THEY DO FAIL WITH AGE. If the car has done a high mileage. Replace it. Age due to constant heat exposure kills them.

In the trunk, there should be a carpet panel and the gas door side. Pull the carpet siding back and there should be a lever labeled gas gap manual. Use that to manually release the lock

there will be a bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder ,when bleeding same process as brake bleeding but push the padal VERY slowly as could push piston past usual use point and then the rubber seals may pull from piston

tighten the hose clamp.

make sure the car is in park if that dont work try nutraul

I assume you have an automatic transmission.

If so, this is the relay that does not allow you to shift from park into drive unless your foot is on the break. The actual solenoid is located under the shifter counsel. The relay itslef is in the fuse box and will be labeled as such.

since it's a bi-metal relay, try tapping on it a few times with the handle of a screwdriver.

To replace is simple and relatively cheap.

If the solenoid is bad (i.e. the relay still works) you will want to bring it to a saab specialist as this is tied into the anti-theft and you could end up disabling the car due to theft deterent system. it would then require a tech with a saab-specific computer to reset everything for you.

Check fuses and relays.
