SUBJECT:
HARD STARTING ISSUE: 11/85-804
APPLICATION: 1986 900 BASE MODELS
An ignition pulse amplifier relay was introduced on all 1986 model Saabs which provides a more stable ignition signal to the fuel system relays, ignition
module and tachometer. Early base model 900's may have been built with an ignition pulse relay (P/N 95-18-481), a fuel pump relay (P/N 95-50-948) or
a decel relay (P/N 85-99-425) that is not to the 1986 specification. Without the correct relays installed the car may be hard to start or backfire on
deceleration.
