1999 Saab 9-5
Issues started about 12 days ago where the car cranked and cranked after a 25 minute drive. It did eventually turn on after trying.
However, after two more times doing this it entirely gave up (still cranked and cranked, never powered up though). Came out the next morning and it started just fine. This happened for a few days.
The rev counter would shutter and bounce around during the cranking. I replaced the crank position sensor today hoping it was the problem. However, no dice. It still cranks and cranks.
I do hear the fuel pump priming (though my indie mech is going to take a look tomorrow).
Thoughts on what it may be? DI??
Also, maybe related. Sometimes after heavy driving or long trips with the AC on as I slow down (under 25mph) or to a stop it will stall. It turns on right away just fine.
It's near 120K miles. In fine condition, other than this.
