    Hi Guys

    Got saab hooked up a few days ago and got the following errors:

    CODE001: P0090 Fuel Metering Solenoid - Open Circuit.
    CODE002: Exhaust Gas Recirculation - Flow Malfunction

    Reset the system but the engine failure light came back on. Did notice before the engine light came on the car was losing power when driving. I thought it was dirty diesel but then engine light came on.

    The other day I was driving and the fuel indicator light was reading the tank was empty. Restarted and it was back showing the proper amount. Done it again today. ANy idea's?

    Also if parts needed any idea what is needed??

    Thanks

    have a nose around the common rail fuel pump in the engine bay. im assuming fom the fault codes that its a turbo diesel, probably the volvo 1.9 lump? There are two solenoids attached to the pump, each with an electrical connector attached to it. Disconnect and reconnect these to eliminate a possible connection fault. look for broken/chafed wiring.
    Power loss could be down to a faulty EGR actuator/solenoid, (these get coked up and either require cleaning or replacing).

    This is one of the few issues that affects that engine. Im not very familir with it but as far as I remember cleaning it can be a (most likely) temporary fix, to solve it comletely you may need to replace the egr valve. Maybe try cleaning it first and see how you do.

    yeah your right I see this problem nearly daily, the car needs a new egr valve, particle trap regeneration and possibly new software for engine ecu depending what version is on the ecu now to stop this happening in future, i work in a main saab dealer and the main problem i see is people getting an egr valve fitted and not fixing the fault as the other two things arent done. by the way there should be a more accurate code number than you gave like p0400-64 or p2239
