I have compression and leak-down testers. Leak down usually tells the tale. I have to get the car to my garage to run the tests. That usually means renting a dolly (or borrowing a trailer) and finding the time...

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll report back when I have some more info.

Good thoughts. Thanks. I am not sure how to read the codes, but I'll do some research, check the plugs, and report back with my findings.

Any additional guidance in the meanwhile is welcome.

Thanks,
Bill

Quick update: Found a leak in the lower heater core hose. Car won't start or run.

Hi guys: I recently installed a new radiator in my wife's 900S (non-turbo) convertible. I bled the system as described in the manual and it seemed to run fine for a while. Yesterday I was trolling around town and it started to heat up a little. Fan came on. No problem. By the time I got home, the te...

Did not know they made MCY cars other than the '91 SE's. Here's one that has been for sale in Santa Rosa off and on for a couple years. Looked at it a few years ago. Had some newer paint decently done. Drove OK. Needed some clean-up to be cherry. But, the way prices are going on the more rare model...

These are not in great shape, but they are probably getting hard to find, especially the hub caps, which look to be in fair shape. These are just down the road from me. I'd be happy to scope them out if somebody needs them. Not mine. Ad copy pasted below... bb VINTAGE WHEELS FOR 1969 SAAB WAGON OR C...

This car is now at $600. I am waiting for it to get to $250 and then I'll pounce. I did go look at it. It has a very straight body. No rust. just a few small cracks in the dash. The seats are quite nice but not perfect. Headliner is good. This is a nice car. The mechanical unknowns are a little too ...

I am certainly interested in some convertible-specific parts. Are the door card inserts any good? I know this is a bigger item, but I'd be interested in the back seat bottom, too. Just the plywood section. Front motor mount bracket if it's good. I am sure there are other convertible-specific items t...

Almost looks too nice to be destined as a parts car...You should pick it up and bring it back to life :yay: The more I think about it, the more I agree with what you are saying here. May not be an CA car originally. Has a 7 plate on it, meaning it has been replated in the past few years. Could be l...

I am thinking about this as a parts car for our '92 S convertible or as a cheap fixer/driver. Looks nice. Clean dash/seats. Needs head gasket repair completed. Owner says head is not warped. You can see some parts on the pass seat and footwell. But looks like a very clean car. I'm gonna go see it ne...
