1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2006

Driving on thruway,cruise went off sudden loss of speed,ck engine light on. Engine stalled would only idle and shake wouldn't move. Had it towed to shop cleared code ran 1/2 day ok then ck light came back on, pulled it back into my shop. I searched internet for solutions pointed to faulty throttle body. I"m a certified for 34 year motorcycle technician so I took it off and disassembled it as I wanted to get to the bottom as it"s reason for failure. I discovered everything was ok except all of the wire insulation within the internal area of the throttle body had failed and peeled away causing a electrical short or spike. This is due to the use of inferior wire insulation not designed for it"s application. Dlr had new $457. 00 part in stock. I installed it,worked fine dlr inspected it. I left the old part with them for possible special warranty consideration with SAAB USA. SAAB declined warranty 01/02/07, I now have the old part. This car has also had 12 ign switch problems where 6 times it was replaced,the last one was 11/17/06 covered by warranty,also 6 headlights & 6tail lightbulbs replaced & counting not warranty. I have all work orders.
