...By the time the pads are worn out, the rotors are usually close to the minimum thickness.


Not really.

General rule for brake rotors lifespan is that you can use two sets of brake pads on one set of rotors and that is with one re-surfacing job.

After two sets of brake pads and one time re ...

...that is rarely done any more,they just get replaced.


Learned this the expensive way a long time ago. By the time the pads are worn out, the rotors are usually close to the minimum thickness. If they're warped even slightly, they will likely warp very soon after they're turned. Just put on ...

I still have not fixed this issue and with summer approaching this is becoming a problem again. Can someone advise how to check and/or replace the low speed fan resistor? I know I could pick up a salvage fan or buy a new one but the fan motor itself seems perfectly fine. It's just the low speed ...

I told it how frustrated I am with my Saab. I also tried to fix some aging wiring issues while troubleshooting the radiator fan.

Noticed the A/C going warm-cold-warm etc in stop and go traffic and decided to check the low speed fan operation. It wasn't cycling on at all. So I troubleshooted by disconnecting the radiator fan harness from the 2-speed relay and supplying power to the high speed (red) wire. The fan spun up. Then ...

Finally got around to checking the codes. I have also replaced the throttle position sensor since I had one on hand. It hasn't been as bad since then but I can still feel some hesitation and sagging under light throttle and almost always a moment after the transmission upshifts.

Here are the codes ...

Does the OBDII port provide complete access to any stored codes? I've used my Bluetooth scanner to monitor various sensor data also but I've read that they are not very accurate and I don't really know what to look for other than inconsistencies in the data. I watched the video for testing the relay ...

Since you have '95....you have OBDI diagnostic tool under the hood.

Post written codes here.


Mine has an OBD-II port in the center console. There are no codes which is odd. It has never reported one for this issue. I will check the relays, though, since that is easy enough to do. Thanks for ...

Summary: Under light throttle (e.g. while cruising on a level road section), at idle and decelerating/coasting, the engine will buck as if fluctuating between power loss and normal operation. At this time, the exhaust smells funny (I don't know if it's rich or lean. How to tell?). This is ...
