Bet on A unless battery being older than 1 year When you flat-gently caress a battery it takes a good charge(r) to bring it back. Viggen posted:Yeah, but this is too nice to grenade in the name of "Oh, I hosed up." Kill an SL1. I hear you get money back from the government for bringing back bits of the plastic body 'n' poo poo.. Or be like this choad and buy a saab, and always be in over your head.

Woot! Now the fun things. Verify spark during cranking. pop a plug wire off, stuff a screwdriver in the fucke rand stick it near something metal. look for an arc. don't touch the fucker while doing this! Verify fuel pressure. don't have a fuel pressure reader? grab the old style tire pressure gauge and measure whats at the shrader valve on the fuel rail. I can't remember if these have test ports or not. EFB: Beaten' like a gimp in a dungeon. goddammit.

I don't have much helping hands around the area, since my mom pretty much says, "IT'S YOUR CAR" and doesn't really help that much. You have a gauge as Adiabatic pointed out. Ignore my babble.

Pics of the fans. More times than not the lovely dual ebay setups suck less than a good working mechanical. It takes some serious loving work to get better performance from an electric vs mechanical with "universal" ones. If its no volvoid fan, or mkIII, its probably a piece of poo poo.
