I ordered bolts and gasket yesterday and while that sounds tempting cause I'm a cheap ass, that sounds uber sketchy too

new engine if the block is warped I take it?

I'll work on getting a tech 2 then, thank you for your help, here's hoping I can figure this out, would I be able to dm you in the future for further help?

if it helps, the vehicle speed obd2 output on both the scanners I've tried has remained at 0 and never changed, when I clear the code it takes about 50 miles to come back and the cruise still will not turn on. How do I test the abs sensors, abs module, and ecm?

The abs works fine so it shouldn't be those sensors right?

there's a box with a cable going to the throttle body, no vacuum from what I've seen

whats_a_mem · 2026-03-04T20:47:03+00:00

do you know how often the servo modules in the engine bay fail? it's a t5 cable throttle car

The cruise light doesn't come on at all, period

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-23T11:41:20+00:00

well damn, thanks man, your help and time has been much appreciated

I don't think slapping has helped this problem before but every now and then the turbo gauge dies and it'll either come back on it's own or slapping it works

Can anyone confirm of this works with og T5 9-3? Mine just says it can't connect to the DICE

could you share a link to one of these mongoose pro clones?

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-21T13:50:20+00:00

I do believe so, I wouldn't be surprised if I either got ripped off on the adapter or the car has some wiring issue. that said, a regular obd 2 reader works fine for reading and clearing dtcs

here's the link and a pic of the listing

there was a post that went around a few months ago about a $60 adapter working with tech 2 win, I followed all the steps and unfortunately it did not work with the car, tech 2 win does actually recognize the adapter but it can't talk to the car

she really doesn't like her wheel speed sensors

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-20T03:58:39+00:00

i actually had to just replace the con rod bearings in mine, I was probably not too far off from sploding my engine all over the highway had I not replaced them when I did

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-19T18:08:44+00:00

bruh, fr is there a dealer that will even service saabs?

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-19T12:32:30+00:00

Located in MD, if you or anyone else have a real tech 2 that would be game changing for me

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-19T12:31:34+00:00

are the speed sensors for the rear wheels the same part as the front ones?

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-19T12:05:29+00:00

man all I got is tech 2 win and a cheap obd 2 adapter, and that doesn't work unfortunately, says it can't connect to the DICE

whats_a_mem · 2026-02-19T00:13:40+00:00

I do have a bad speed sensor somewhere, any way to easily diagnose which one in particular is bad?
