1996 Saab 900 problems
The Saab 900 is a mid-sized automobile which was produced by Saab from 1978 until 1998 in two generations; the first from 1978 to 1993, and the second from 1994 to 1998.
The first-generation car was based on the Saab 99 chassis, though with a longer front end to meet U.S. frontal crash regulations and to make room for the turbo-charged engines, air conditioning and other equipment that was not available in the early days of the 99 model. The 900 was produced in 2- and 4-door sedan, and 3- and 5-door hatchback configurations and, from 1986, as a cabriolet (convertible) model. There were single- and twin-Zenith carburettor; fuel injected, and turbocharged engines, including both Full Pressure Turbo (FPT), and, in European models during the early 1990s, Low Pressure Turbos (LPT).
Saab 900 "Classic"
Overview
The Saab 900 is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive mid-size car with a longitudinally mounted, 45-degree canted, inline four-cylinder engine, double wishbone front suspension and beam-axle rear suspension. It was originally introduced on 12 May 1978, for the 1979 model year. Sales commenced in the fall of 1978.
Like its predecessor the 99, the 900 contained a number of unusual design features that distinguish it from most other cars. First, the B-engine, that was installed "backwards", with power delivered from the crank at the front of the car. Second, the transmission, technically a transaxle, bolted directly to the bottom of the engine to form the oil pan (albeit with separate oil lubrication). Thus, power from the crank would be delivered out of the engine at the front, then transferred down and back to the transmission below, via a set of chain-driven primary gears. In similar fashion, Minis also had their gearbox mounted directly below the engine; however, the Mini gearbox and engine shared the same oil, whereas the Saab 900 (and 99) gearboxes contained a separate sump for engine oil.
The 900 body was developed from the older 99 model, keeping the basic layout but with a new longer front part. This allowed for more space in the engine room and better crash protection for passengers. The middle and rear parts of the body were identical to the 99 Combi Coupé (which was withdrawn from the lineup at the same time). Later a new rear end was designed for the 2- and 4-door sedans.
Refined over several decades of two-digit Saab models, the 900's double wishbone suspension design provided excellent handling and road feel. The rear suspension comprised a typical beam axle design, stabilized with a Panhard rod. However, the attachment points between the axle and chassis made up an unusual configuration that, in essence, consists of two Watt's linkages at either end of the axle: A lower control arm attaches the axle to the bottom of the vehicle, while an upper link attaches at the top but faces towards the rear, unlike a typical four-link design with both lower and upper links facing forward. The design-principle being similar with the rear suspension presented in Alfa Romeo Alfasud already in 1971, except in the Alfasud, the beam axle itself functioned as a sway-bar, hence separate sway-bars in the rear suspension was not needed.
Early models did not have sway bars; they began appearing on certain models in 1985, and, in U.S. and possibly other markets, became standard on all trim levels by the late 1980s. The sway bars decreased body roll, but at the expense of some ride comfort and when driven aggressively, increased inside wheel spin. The front and rear bars' diameters were unchanged throughout the model's run.
The 900 has a deeply curved windshield, providing the best driver visibility. The dashboard was curved to enable easy reach of all controls, and featured gauges lit up from the front. Saab engineers placed all controls and gauges in the dashboard according to their frequency of use and/or importance so that the driver need only divert their gaze from the road for the shortest possible time and by the smallest angle. This is why, for example, the oft-used radio is placed so high in the dashboard. In keeping with the paradigm of its predecessor, the 99 model, the 900 employed a door design unique in automotive manufacturing, with an undercutting sweep to meet the undercarriage, forming a tight, solid unit when the door was closed. This feature also eliminated the stoop in the cabin at the footing of the door, as seen in automobiles of other manufacturers, thereby preventing water and debris from collecting and possibly entering the cabin or initiating corrosion, as well as enabling passengers to enter and exit the cabin without need to step over several inches of ledge.
The 900 underwent minor cosmetic design changes for 1987, including restyled front end and bumpers that went from a vertical to a more sloped design. To save money, Saab kept the basic undercarriage more or less unchanged throughout the 900's production run.
The Saab 900 could be ordered with different options, including a high performance option called the Aero or, as it was known in the U.S. "Special Performance Group" (SPG). The Aero/SPG incorporated (depending on the market and model year) a body skirt; a sport-suspension (1987+) that included shorter, stiffer springs, stiffer shocks, and sway bars; leather seats; premium stereo; and air conditioning. Each of these features could also be ordered independently from Saab's Accessories Catalog for fitment to standard models.
Another desirable UK option at this time was the fitment of very distinctive Minilite alloy wheels. Initially these had the words 'Minilite' and 'Saab' cast in raised lettering; later Saabs had a similar wheel made by Ronal.
Power output varied by model year and market, but 900S and 900 Turbo models produced from 1985 and onward were fitted with a 16-valve engine, while the basic 900 kept the earlier 8-valve engine.
A 1989 Saab 900 SPG, owned by Peter Gilbert of Wisconsin, was driven over a million miles before being donated to The Wisconsin Automotive Museum. Peter Gilbert claimed a million miles out of the turbocharging unit in addition to the engine itself. Saab gave Mr Gilbert a Saab 9-5 Aero.

Common 1996 Saab 900 problems
The Saab 900, produced in 1996, is known for several common problems that have been reported by its owners. These issues span across various components of the car, including the engine, electrical system, suspension and steering, and body and interior.
One of the most prevalent issues in the 1996 Saab 900 is with the engine control module (ECM) failing, which can cause problems such as poor engine performance, rough idling, and engine stalling. If not addressed promptly, this issue can lead to more serious engine damage.
Another common problem reported by owners is with the brakes, specifically the brake master cylinder failing, which can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft. In extreme cases, the brake pedal can even go to the floor, which can result in a loss of braking ability. This issue, if not addressed promptly, can lead to a dangerous situation on the road.
The fuel pump relay is also a common issue in the 1996 Saab 900, which can cause issues such as hard starting, engine hesitation, or engine stalling. If not addressed, this issue can eventually lead to more serious engine damage.
Issues with the exhaust system are also common in the 1996 Saab 900, with the exhaust manifold known to crack, causing increased engine noise and reduced engine performance. Additionally, the catalytic converter is prone to clogging, which can cause a reduction in engine power and fuel economy.
In terms of the engine, the B234 engine (2.3-liter four-cylinder) and the B204 engine (2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder) are both known to have issues in the 1996 Saab 900. The B234 engine can experience problems with the timing belt tensioner, which can cause the timing belt to jump or break, leading to engine damage. The B204 engine, on the other hand, can suffer from turbocharger failures, which can cause oil smoke and reduced engine performance.
Other common issues by component in the 1996 Saab 900 include electrical system problems, such as the alternator failing, which can cause the battery to drain and the car to stall. Suspension and steering issues, such as worn out tie rods and ball joints, can cause poor handling and steering problems. Body and interior issues, such as rust and water leaks, can cause damage to the car's structure and electrical components.
In summary, the 1996 Saab 900 is known for several common problems, including engine control module failure, brake master cylinder failure, fuel pump relay issues, exhaust system problems, and engine-related issues. It is important for owners of this car to be aware of these issues and address them promptly to prevent more serious damage to the car. Regular maintenance, such as fluid changes and tune-ups, can help prevent some of these issues from occurring in the first place. If any of these issues are experienced, it is recommended to consult a qualified mechanic or Saab specialist for diagnosis and repair.
