What are the causes for a 1997 Saab 900s to shut-off while driving?
This is the #1 Cause of a Saab To Shut Off WhileDriving..From Own Personal Experience.Who ever is sitting in passenger seat, or a pocketbook or yours.

How do you replace the headlight bulb on a 2007 Saab 9-3?
For the drivers side: lift up the battery cover. Gently pull on the windshield washer fluid reservoir, it will pull out making the light bulb cover accessible. Remove the rubber cover to the bulb you would like to replace. The bulb is now accessible, twist the bulb gently and pull it out. The bulb simply plugs into the electrical socket, so all you need to do is pull it out once you've removed it from the headlight. Reverse the steps to replace the bulb in to the headlight. Use caution not to touch the bulb with your bare hands as the oils from your skin will effect the life of the bulb, I recommend wearing latex gloves.
For the passenger side remove the rubber cover to the bulb the follow the steps listed above.

If the spark plugs have oil on them do they need to be replaced?
First things first. What year, make, model, engine, and mileage? When were the spark plugs last replaced? Short answer: Yes. They should be replaced as part of the major engine overhaul your car needs. There should never be any oil on the spark plugs. A little carbon buildup, perhaps, but no oil. That indicates a serious engine proble such as worn out piston rings, worn out valves and guides, or a worn out turbocharger seal.
How do you push the piston back in the front brake caliper on a Saab 900?
There are several different front brake calipers for the Saab 900 depending on the year. The first is from 1979-1987 and is the same as that on the Saab 99 beginning in 1975. You need a special tool to rotate the caliper piston back into place because the front caliper also acts as the parking brake. From 1988 thru 1993, the front calipers on the Classic 900 are the same as those on the Saab 9000. The NG 900 has a completely different brake caliper setup beginning with the 1994 model.

How do you fill clutch fluid in a 1991 SAAB 900 S?
Clutch fluid comes out of the same reservoir as brake fluid. So...go buy a little bottle of DOT 4 fluid (for the love of all that is good DO NOT PUT DOT 3 IN A SAAB!) and pour it in.
Where do you check oil on a 9-3 Saab?
If it's like my '95 900SE Saab, it's built into the oil filler cap that's right on the top of the engine...when you unscrew the cap and pull it out, the dipstick comes with it.
But by then they may have changed the engine, from some of the other 93 answers I've seen...
Good luck

It's pretty hard. The keys include a complex engine immobiliser system coded to the car.

How many miles do Saab usually go to When buying an older Saab what should I look for?
Saab's can easily go several hundred thousand miles. The engines are amazingly reliable, especially the 2.0-liter engines of the 1980s. My current daily driver is a 1985 900 8-valve with 288,000 miles and it runs better than most newer Toyota's or Honda's.
The manual transmissions can be a problem on 900s (1979-93), especially in turbocharged models. The 4-speed gearbox was designed in the early 1970s for a 100 hp engine, then a 5th gear was added in 1980. The bearings can wear out at about 200,000 miles, especially if the gear lube is not kept topped off. The automatic transmissions in those cars are an older design as well, so tend to rob the power from the engine.
I also have a 1999 Saab 9-5 and i have over 258,000 miles on it. I had to have work done on the gear box at around 160,000 miles. But the engine and it's components haven't let me down yet! Saab cars are super reliable.

How do you replace head lamp bulbs on a 2003 Saab 9-3?
The proceedure is in the Owner's manual that you get with they car but I will do my best to answer from memory.
To change the left (driver's side) headlights you need to remove the battery cover. Disconnect the hose that runs along the left hand side of the cover by gently lifting it up out of the clips and move it out of the way. There are 2 fasteners that secure the battery cover. Rotate each one of these a quarter-turn and then lift straight up on the cover.
Be sure you know which headlight you need to change. Low beams are on the ones on the outside, towards the sides of the car. High beams are on the inside toward the radiator.
Remove the dust cap over the headlight you want to change. The caps simply pull off, dont try to rotate them or anything. Once you have the dust caps off you rotate the lights counter-clockwise to get them out of the sockets. You have very little room to work with when changing the bulbs.
The high beams have a metal clip or retaining ring in addition to the light socket. Don't take this off when you are trying to change the bulb. It is part of the socket assembly and needs to stay where it is.
Putting the high beams back in is much more difficult than the low beams becase you cannot see what you are doing. A mirror like this one will save you lots of frustration. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00941603000
[DIFFERENT ANSWER --- I HAVE A 2003 SAAB 93 CONVERTIBLE and its owners manual and just changed the head lamp bulbs. No need to remove the battery cover, and you do twist the dust caps to get them off and lock them back on. Then you pull off the plug, and unlock a spring clip by pushing the top of it first forward, then to the side and it will fall down but the bottom stays in place so you can lift it back up after changing the bulb. The bulb comes out easily with no unscrewing - the spring clip holds it in place. Put the new bulb in middle prong up and re-clip, plug it in and put the cap back on.]
