I'm new to this site and to Saab's but when is the last time the fuel filter was changed? If you haven't, you should ... it's cheaper and easier than the fuel pump, and will help the fuel pump live a longer healthier life. --Jim

Fuel filter is the good place to start. However, your problem is due to a bad or leaky check valve. The check valve is located next to your fuel pump under the rear seat. Be very careful when inspecting this check valve or anytime working with the fuel pump, since you don't want to snap off any lines.

Hello jpkenny, Ive been having the same symptoms with my 2001 Saab 95 and can't quite figure out what the problem is. Did you resolve yours and if so what exactly was the problem? Thanks

Thanks for the quick response...one more thing...when u say "the whole fuel pump system" you mean everything that makes up the fuel system (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator) or just the pump?

We had to replace the fuel pump only. I'm not sure how it stopped working but it did.

Could also be the throttle position sensor, which requires replacing the throttle body. The computer should show a TPS fault code.

Brakes are hard as rock. I have been told Master Cylinder or brake booster (vacuum booster? not sure if this is the same as brake booster). Does anyone know what would cause this and how pricey to fix?#11 of 13 brakes not to full potential by fchin3044

2001 Saab 95, 86,000 miles. When I depress the brake pedal, I need to press hard to stop and then again, it does not feel like the hard stop my other Saab or Volvo have. Do I have to buy Saab brakes, I went with aftermarket, Wagner Thermo Quiet premium brake pads.Thx
