1999 saab 9-5 starts jerking like im reving the engine even when foot is on the break.

The very first time i start my car every morning it starts perfect and idles fine, but some mornings as soon as i put it in reverse the car starts jerking like my foots tapping on the gas pedal, and also when i put it into drive. when i start to go it stops but for about 5 -10 seconds the exhaust blows white smoke and then stops. this only happens the very first time i gas the car in the morning. the reving sometimes happens at stoplights and ill have to throw it in neutral and it will idle fine.... anyone know?

SOURCE: 2003 Saab 9-5 Aero- Idling problem

I recently had the same problem, my 2002 9-5 Aero would die every time I came to a stop or put the clutch in. Replaced the Mass Air Flow Sensor and it doesn't die anymore, but it still runs a little rough when shifting and I still get the check engine light. I talked with a tech and he said that I disconnect the battery for a few hours it should clear the fault codes.

take the vehicle to your nearest saab dealer and ask for a diagnostic scan, yuo have a sensor failure, if left it could be expensive.

You might want to try replacing the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Saab 93's and 95's are notorious for these faulty sensors. they don't cost much, mine cost around $55 with tax and it took me around 1 hour to replace. Go to this website: www.fixmysaab.com then search for 95_repair. They show you how to replace the sensor. They even include pictures and the tools you will need(only a long ratchet with a swivel attachment). Try this before taking it to a dealership as they will mostly likely charge you app $400 plus for less than an hours work! I hope this helps 8)

Peace and happy driving 8)

1999 saab 9-5 while driving it is jerking, at times it does not start without a jump

If the battery cable are not corroded, replace the battery. The battery is a very important component of an electrical system. Any check engine lights? 99 models often have a hole burned into the turbo hose on the right side of the car.

Break lights staying on even when the engine is switched off and keys removed from ignition

has to be your brake light switch unusual though normally wired to ignition circuit but saabs normally have side lights wired to come on when ignition is turned on due to swedish laws
try brake light switch at foot pedal or maybe on master cylinder just remove a wire one side of switch if they go out you have your problem

My 1999 saab 95 4 cyl. turbo shutdown the other day while i was driving up hill. After a couple of minutes i got it started 15 minutes later it started up and drove again, it seemed ok. The next morning it...

If your check engine light is on then there may be codes stored in the vehicle's computer. If the car cranks faster than normal then the timing belt may have failed. If you can find an assistant to crank the car while you look through the oil fill to see if the camshaft is turning, this is one test I perform as a mobile mechanic.Good luck and be safe.Please keep me posted

Saab 9-3 engine into 9-5

the engines are different model engines since they run off the computer im thinking that you need to set the computer to the 9.3 since the specs run the 9-5 at different frequency the enigine modules still think its a 9-5 in which you want the computer to run it at 9-3 this gives the high throttle reving

you need a laptop and your cars software to set the idle control for vehicle and possibily the proper idle control module for engine
