Right a quick little update. It passed its MOT with 3 advisories, stiff gearstick, rear discs and jacking point missing. Theres also an intermittent problem where electronic stability control is turned off. Ive read about a bit and this is either worn wiring on the rear ABS sensor or steering sensor. Will have to investigate.
I paid £415 for a JZW remap. The cable came in the post on friday. I sent the map off today and it came back an hour later with a stage 1 soft and a stage 1 aggressive. Stuck the aggressive one on and it started misfiring under load. Put the soft one on and it starting misfiring under load. Put the stock map back on and its fine. Its got the right sparks so it will be the coil packs. They are individual and from saab UK they are £300+ but from neobros and claimed to be genuine they are about £50. Im going to order 3 and put them in the back row as this is hardest to get to and easiest to replace them all at once. If it doesnt solve it then it must be the front row in which case the back coil packs get fitted to the front and should be good to go.
For the brief mile i got before the car started misfiring the power was unreal. Its meant to be 320hp i think so 70hp more than the 250hp stock. Really livens things up so cant wait to get it properly working.
Ive also ordered new rear discs and pads and all the filters and oil the tune it again. Sparks I wont be swapping out as they werent done long ago and theyre pretty expensive to replace "just for good measure".
