Re: saab 1885 900 se has whirling noise when trying to
If the noise is just a spinning sound and not a grinding, than you're starter solinoid is probably bad.
You're best bet is to replace the starter. Hope this helps.

My boyfriend was having the same problem with his 2002 9-3 and in reading the user manual i found the following...when the car wouldn't start this morning he tried it and instead of having to wait 15 minutes for it to start, it started right up. Oh and his screen didn't give an error.
Electronic starting interlock (immobilizer) When the key is inserted in the ignition, a signal is sent to the receiver. If the signal is verified, the engine can be started. Each time the key is removed from the ignition, the electronic immobilizer is activated. If a fault is detected (e.g. in the transmitter) ”KEY NOT ACCEPTED” will appear on the SID. In this case, you can still start the car if you turn the ignition key to ON and press one of the buttons on the key. Take the car to an authorized Saab dealer to have the system checked.
If the car does not start If the text "KEY NOT ACCEPTED" appears on the SID when the engine refuses to start, the trouble may be a fault in the transponder of the key or in the receiver of the ignition switch. Proceed as follows: • Turn the key back to the LOCK position. • Turn the key to the ON position. • Press one of the buttons on the remote control (the LED on top of the dash stops flashing). • Start the engine. Try the other key. If it works, the trouble is in the first key. Call on an authorized Saab dealer for inspection and correction
A SAAB dealer should be able to print one out for you. BTW that engine is practically identical to the V6 used in a caddy Catera, and Saturn Ion. Those diagrams would be the same, so you might want to search that also.
