I recently replaced my radiator and thermostat in my 1999 9-3 turbo 2.0L. When I was finished I pulled it out of my garage and let it run for a few minutes to make sure everything was OK. Then I drove it to the gas station and around a bit to make sure there was no overheating. After about 20 minutes I thought everything was fine and went home. Next morning I get up and the car won't start. I sounds like it fires once then never again. I have spark (although it seems to only spark once) and I can smell gas so I'm pretty sure it's not the fuel pump. Does anybody know of anything like a kill switch or something I need to do because of disconnecting the battery or anything? This seems very odd to me. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Josh

Direct Ignition Casette....that red thing bolted smack in the middle of the head. Unfortunately it's expensive, but MANY saabers choose to have a spare...and there's a reason for that.

I took that off and did the spark to the screwdriver technique. All of them sparked, it was just once then they wouldn't spark again. I figured that meant it was some sort of computer problem, like the computer was cutting spark after once because it was throwing some code.
