problem #1

Sep 102005

9-3 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 62,360 miles
The check engine light came on while I was highway driving; I parked the vehicle as soon as possible and didn't use it until the mechanic was available. The diagnostic test showed direct ignition failure, the part was replaced with a new part. Being a long-time Saab owner, of several models, I am aware that certain models have associated problems, such as this part.
