I have a 1994 saab that doesnt want to start unless it is facing down hill

I notice that when it is sitting flatt it starts after a couple tries and when it is facing down a hill it will pretty much fire right up. Once it's started it runs pretty smooth

I have already changed the fuel filter thinking it may have obstruction. it did not fix the problem. hard to believe its the pump because it runs fine when its started, and never dies.

Ilkely a fault in the non-return valve in the fuel pump assembly in the tank.

SOURCE: my 98' saab 900 won't start.

I would look at the Fuel Pump Relay, and Fuse Box, Fuse Box relays. Also if Relays Check out see if there is a Fuel Pump Intertia Switch and Where it is located..!!! R - U - sure its fuel ...??? maybe hit the intake with a little Either Starting Fluid see if it fires...I have found the Fuse Box Itself Will Arch and Burn Out Contacts so time for Fuse Box....Just Thinking hope this helps....Merry Christmas

My 1994 Volvo 850 turbo has been loosing power mainly going down hills. It will turn over and start right after, then I put it in drive and it dies again. Last night I waited an hour before trying it

It may be your fuel regulator, mine did the same thing, and the turbo should go almost down to no power while going down hill, thats normal

I have a 95 s10 and its been sitting alot here lately i drove it the other day and it was hard to start and when it did start it didnt wont to run it is missing and stumbling real bad made it up the road...

If the vehicle has been sitting for a while, you should start by draining the fuel tank, and changing the engine oil. Gasoline does go bad if it is just sitting for a period of time, and will cause the issue you describe. Most likely, your issue is simply bad gasoline.

My 95 saab se starts and runs great for about 3 miles the dies out. I let it sit for a couple hours and it'll start and go about another 3 miles.

This is probably a CPS sensor.

9000 won't start!

Sounds like a crank sensor. They can drive you mad. If you hear a clicking sound when you try to start it, that is the battery. But if you turn the key it starts, you drive some place turn off the car for 5 minutes and then try to restart it, and it does nothing at all, that is a classic crank sensor.

The airflow wont change when i select face, feet, or windscreen

you have a vacuum problem . could be a leaky hose or broken vacuum line.

these flaps are controlled by vacuum from your engine. check the black hose from the canister in the engine compartment that goes to your firewall near your evaporator coil. this is the supply vaccum line going to the switch. if you don't have a vacuum source here, then trace the source.

tnx 4 using fixya,

1990 ford diesel non turbo

it sounds like your fuel lines aren't maintaining pressure and the angle is allowing too much fuel to drain out of the lines. i have the same issue with and older f350 diesel if i let it sit a while and it doesn't get started.
