What are the symptoms of a bad Saab throttle body?
- When the 'Check Engine' light is on.
- When the engine runs rough.
- When the engine idle is rough.
- When the engine performs not as well as usually is the case.
- When the shifting gear is problematic.
- When the engine runs at a higher temperature than usual.
- When starting the car is troublesome.
How long will a throttle body replacement take on my Saab?
A throttle body replacement usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace my Saab throttle body?
Over time the throttle body's parts can wear and ultimately fail, both resulting in the engine not being fed the correct amount of air for the air / fuel mixture to combust in the cylinder. In the event, the engine may lose power. In most cases the throttle body will just be dirty (usually it's covered in a black residue), preventing an adequate amount of air to pass through the valve.
Should you experience an issue like this or those listed earlier, it is advisable to have the throttle body inspected as soon as possible and, if necessary, have it replaced. Seeing that the throttle body is a component that is especially prone to wear it should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.

He had sent another mechanic who arrived after dark.
This mechanic brought a replacement which fitted, but it had the wrong connector.
After this, he took my old throttle body away overnight in an effort to find a correct one.
The following day I called and was told that they had been unable to get a new throlled body immediately, but had one on order which would arrive within four business days.
Juan himself came the following afternoon and said he'd clean and refit the old throttle body.
This seems to have fix the problem of "limited performance".
Overall, a good job was done.
I have been charged only for labour at a very reasonable rate (considering all the work involved in sourcing the correct part), and I have been refunded the portion of payment that was for the replacement part.
This is my second time using Click mechanic, and I think I will use them again in future.
Thanks for all your hard work Juan and A.N.Other. The car is performing really well, so I think the problem was building for a while.”
