Please help, I've just bought bought a dodgy saab :(

I've just bought a 9-5 3.0t v6 1999 from auction. It seemed sweet until I drove it out the gate and realised it was indeed - buggerd.

Basically it runs, but sruggles to stay at idle. When you floor it there is no power. i.e foot to the floor and very very slow to get going.

I only got it 100 yards and smoke was coming out from the bonnet with a strong smell. It seems like it's not firing on all cylinders. The oil seems fine and there are no rattles or strange noises. I'm stumped.

Any ideas? I bought it for £1000 and will be happy if the repair bill is less than <£500.

I went from being well chuffed to absolutly gutted in 3 seconds.

DI cartridge would be a good place to start with that. Think the V6 has two to go wrong.

Good luck, could well still be a good car.
