Codes covered in this video
The owner of this clean 2007 Saab 9-3 Convertible is DESPERATE to get his car drivable again.
At the moment it's stuck in LIMP MODE due to a Throttle Position Error code P2135.
Over the last year he had the ECM replaced and then sent the second one out for "repairs".
Car was OK for 2 weeks, and then acted up again.
The local "Saab Specialist" told him to pound sand, and a local Euro shop suggested that it might be time to send this nice Saab to the CRUSHER!? Wow.
Let's collect some data and take the Saab for a Test Drive.
The P2135 pops up on the first Cold Start, but then after a code clear it REFUSES to act up!!
What do we do in this case?
