Saab fuel problem

FUSES RELAYS LOCATED UNDER DRIVERS SIDE DASH BOARD.

The fuel filter is in the fuel tank. There is a relay under the hood in the relay fuse box center. 3 things could be bad. Crank sensor, cam sensor, or fuel pump. Obviously check the fuse /relay first. If the car does not start try spraying carborator cleaner in throttle body, if the car starts this means you have a fuel delivery problem. If car does not start it sounds like you have a no spark problem.

Check the fuses/relays for the fuel pump and make sure you are getting gas to the fuel injectors. Also check your fuel filter....if it is clogged it could be stopping the gas from getting to the injectors....good luck

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

Squirt starting fluid in intake and try to start if it starts and then dies you have a fuel delivery problem. Make sure you check the fuses for a blown fuse namely fuel pump or fuelpump relay. If it doesnt start after squirting starting fluid in the intake check for spark at the plug wires and coil.

Most likely a lack of fuel, check the fuel filter first.

check for fuel flow find & diconect fuel suply inlet line to fuel rail turn engine over

In order of failure rate you should check:
1) DIC (the red module sitting between the cam banks). This may or may not throw a code (random misfire or a specific cylinder misfire). The easiest way to check this is to simply swap in a known good DIC and see if this fixes the problem. You should also check your plugs at this point and ensure that they are gapped no larger than 1 mm, as overgapped plugs are the primary cause of DIC filures..
2) CPS (crankshaft position sensor) located on the right front lower corner of the engine block. This should throw a code, but may not. I do not have access currently to the electrical specs you should be able to read with a multimeter;
3) Fuel pump and fuel pump relay. To check this, remove the IAT sensor in the throttle body transition casting and spray starter fluid into the throttle body. Replace the sensor finger tight and crank the car. If it starts and runs until the starter fluid is gone, you probably have a pump or relay issue. Raise the rear seat and hammer on the top of the tank next to the fuel pump assembly with a large rubber mallet and then try to start the car. If it starts and runs, your pump is probably failing. Check the relay under the dash regardless to ensure that it is working. You should be able to hear the pump run when you turn the key to the on position, especially with the rear seat up.
Good luck.

Fixed it myself. I checked power and ground on fuel pump, then w/rubber mallet I banged the fuel tank and the fuel pump went on for a few seconds while someone cranked car, it started for arou 20 -30 seconds. This helped me diagn. the problem and I put in a new fuel assembly.\

check in trunk for a fuel cut out switch, it shuts down fuel flow in case of an accident
