Saab: injector problem, crankshaft position sensor, crankshaft sensor
Questionhi my saab 93 turbo does not start, mechanic says injectors are not firing. So wht would stop injectors from firing?
AnswerAlthough I am not intimately familiar with the '93 models, I am with those slightly older...and for this discussion, I am assuming that the newer models use a similar system.
Signals for the injectors' firing are derived from a crankshaft position sensor..as the crankshaft passes a certain point, it sends a signal to the control computer to trigger an injector cycle. The "on" time of this cycle is carefully controlled by a combination of instantaneous engine parameters, such as load, temperature, speed,exhaust gas content etc. The "on" time determines the amount of fuel/cycle and thus the mixture.
To answer the question: most likely the crankshaft sensor followed by the control computer. Pay special attention to the wiring and particularly any signs of dirt, corrosion, or loose conductors. Rather tedious, I am afraid.
