  1. Have run the Saab fan right now thru what the stock electric fan wiring was.

     

    Comes on when the thermostat opens up at temperature.  Then keeps the temp down at a uniform level.

     

    Should be relayed, protected and running thru a 30 amp fuse as the factory set up.

     

    Yes, will not have it running all the time.

     

    Thanks for the input  !!

  2. Read all the advice on my overheat problems.  Many thanks for the help.

     

    Bot a Subaru stat today.  No comparision to the after market, or the one I took out of the Turbo.

     

    Size of opening, size of spring wire, diameter of heat element.

     

    Worth the $22.++ paid for the "original".

     

    Took out the fan clutch and its fan.

     

    Installed one fan from a SAAB.  Had to trim the support arms, but went in fine.

  3. After much help from "The Guys" here, the wagon is a jewel.   Two relays under the passenger carpet, I finally found them, were rusted to death.  Replaced from O'Reillys.

     

    Still would not idle.  Tach would bounce, then would stop running.

     

    Yes, it was the Dizzy.  Worn upper bearing.  Had it machined out and replaced with an oilite bearing, watching all tolerances.  $3.58 at a bearing supply house.  Friends work was a freebie.  :-)))

     

    Pic of the installed Oilite.

     

    Now to pass California smog test.  Quart of Lacquer thinner in tank, should clean out old gas and gum.

  4. Did not find any relays or anything under the passenger seat or drivers seat.

     

    Do find two relays in engine compartmant over the passenger front wheel.  Are these for the fuel pump or injectors  ??

    Cannot identify from manuals.

     

    Found no relay near the fuse block, only the seat belt relay, silver, round, having four pins.

     

    Any help or clarification   ??

     

    Sure would like to hear it fire up  !!

  5. New to the forum here.  Had BRATS, now a Turbo Wagon.

     

    Given to me, with not to much input from PO.  Trying to get started.  Have spark, compression, sounds good on the starter.

     

    Fuel pump not running on key start.  Does run with pressure when jumped.

     

    No injector click when on start.   Checked fusible links, OK.  Fuses OK on the ignition on position.

     

    Where should I look for a relay or other item not working  ??  

     

    All help really appreciated.
