My Aero is sick :(

Again too lazy to repost, here\'s the blog link (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=2742861&bl ogID=89324463&Mytoken=91E3643B-11A4-13B8-E5EC13BA0850B10F69783229).

Short of it... won\'t turn over despite cranking. Good starter, brand-new battery. Swapped DI carts w/known-good and still nothing. Possible thoughts include fuel pump or bad crank position sensor. She\'s sitting at the dealership in the cold :(

that sucks, it just clicks? even though you hear the starter, the thing that kicks it out onto the flywheel could not be kicking out... try tapping it w/ a hammer

solenoid :)

Yeah that sucks D, i was wonderin why the S-10 was here.

Jah I decided to go merkun and picked up an S10 hehe...

I had been driving the car around all day, so it wasn\'t a frozen flywheel/starter. I just got a call from the dealership, it was unfortunately the fuel pump. Here\'s where owning a Saab sucks: the part alone is over $500. Yes, that much for a fuel pump. And it\'s not the dealership effing me over, that\'s how much they are elsewhere. Ugh. Glad I got my tax refund but still, I had that money earmarked for a trip to someplace warm :dry:

He said the starter is showing signs of wearing out, but my guess is it was just messed from me cranking it trying to start with no fuel coming in. Hopefully that part holds out til it\'s warmer out, then I\'ll replace that myself.

Glad to hear you got it figured out man. I had a feeling it was the fuel pump...
