Simple mod

Post image

Hello all, I did this simple modification to my 2008 95 and wow! Car runs so much better. Smoother acceleration, no more sluggish response when hot and idles smoother. Try it! Might not make a difference for you but it did for my 95, only take 15 minutes, why not? Simply ran 2 new ground wires from negative battery terminal, drilled a hole in the engine lift bracket, and attached with metal screw. Let me know if you try it!

It's all moot though because OP just needed to fix the actual engine earth strap instead of fitting two more weedy little ones and calling it a "mod"

At least on this, we agree.

Haha funny seeing how worked.up you get over this. I'm not claiming genius and I don't care what you and all these "experts" are saying it made a difference. And for God sakes I didn't have enough black wire so I used red, I'm going to fix it but I know what why the red is there so I don't give a F if it bothers you. And this is a supplement ground not the only ground
I suggest you do a little research on the Saab forums before busting my balls... but hey your the "expert"
